Spain or Shine

A heartwarming and engaging coming-of-age tale that highlights the power of embracing one's own uniqueness. The rain in Spain falls mainly on plain Janes. Elena is lost in the shuffle among her three overachieving siblings. But now that she’s on her own for a whole semester, she intends to keep the spotlight all on herself—and Spain is just the place to do it. Once she starts living it up in tapas bars, lying out on the beach (even though it’s November), and having a nice, long siesta smack-dab in the middle of every day, Elena finds that Spain is everything she hoped it would be. She’s even met a to-fawn-over Spaniard, Miguel. But Elena has always been more comfortable writing plays than starring in them and she’s beginning to realize that keeping out of the spotlight has its perks too . . .
