As someone who used to read urban fiction a lot as a kid, I’m so glad I discovered this book! The plot was interesting and well-paced. I loved the character development and the way the author revealed each character’s perspective and how they came to make certain decisions! This read definitely felt like watching a movie

The novella, "Moth to a Flame" follows Raven as she navigates her late teens to adulthood in a toxic relationship with Mizan.
This book can only be described as a whirlwind, I found myself charmed by the humor while simultaneously irritated at the situations Raven wound up in
How the sex scenes were described in this book wasn't really my thing, and my copy had a handful of spelling errors or the sentences were structured wrong. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the story's pacing and was incredibly impressed by how Antoinette can make the reader care for multiple characters in such a short amount of pages.
Definitely recommend for readers to check trigger warnings before reading.
