I enjoyed so many different aspects of this book, the characters, the premise, as soon as this is published I will ask my partner to read this, because I know they will love it. It's real, it's gritty, and so very necessary to read. I didn't fully know what I was in for when I started reading, but as soon as I started I couldn't stop. Excited to read more about this author, they really have a way with words.

I enjoyed this book! Wonderfully written and I couldn’t put it down. 

I don't know that I have the vocabulary to properly explain how I feel this book, or even celebrate it.

It made me giggle, it made my eyes well up, it gave me nostalgia for the Summers between High School. To all my queer black women and girls, please read this for that representation we have been waiting for. To everyone else, please read it to understand some good representation. If you are a fan of cute rom-coms, a fan of happiness, a fan of best friends who fall in love, give this book a chance. I guarantee it won't disappoint. So grateful for the opportunity to read this before its officially out (even just …

A wonderful written analysis and in-depth review of our society and the reality of how white supremacy continues to haunt us. If you are a black person on the asexual and/or aromantic spectrum, this book will give you a safe space to explore your lens. If you aren't black or aren't asexual and/or aromantic, still give this book a read to understand a reality you may not be familiar with.
