Finding Joy by Adriana Herrera

4.0

help! I've fallen in love with adriana herrera's writing and i can't get up!! This is now the third novel I've read from Herrera and i just cannot express how her characters and her stories make me happy!! Finding Joy was so full of joy (see what i did there) and love, and it truly was such a delight to read about Ethiopia. The country's beauty and culture shined through on every page and it was nice to read a romance NOT set in america or Britain. Plus, Desta and Ella's relationship was so heart-felt and lovely it made my heart all mushy and stuff.
This is a very low-conflict novel which I didn't have any issues with but I wouldn't go into this expecting some dramatic love affair. It's just a nice story of two men falling in love and figuring out how to make it work.

PS. There was a one sentence reference to Nesto but it made me shout at my book "OH! THERE HE IS!" so do with that what you will.
