Honestly it took me a while to get into it and I almost put it down completely, I wasn’t connecting with the characters or the setting, BUT I am so glad I stuck with it, it’s a beautiful slow burn that eventually had me so hooked, I couldn’t put it down.
The characters were delightful and I want to be their friend! I feel like the author let us in on them just enough to keep me guessing at what would happen next, the twists were unexpected, yet believable.
The issues in the book were handled with care & thoughtfulness.
A delight of a book that I throughly recommend.

- a strong, complex, nuanced main character
- one of the best book boyfriends I've ever read in recent memory
- sizzling banter and gorgeous prose
- so much sister solidarity and friend support
- Afro-Caribbean, specifically Nigerian Londoner, voices centered and supported with beautifully cast context
- a couple of squee-worthy, next-level, book-nerd gestures that were absolute perfection
