Oh wow, this book. I knew I’d enjoy it after loving Seven Days in June, but it blew me away. This was such an incredible story of love, history, culture and a little bit of magic. I absolutely loved Ricki and Ezra. Both were such well developed characters and I’m so glad we got both of their POVs. Also, Tuesday and Della were such fantastic supporting characters who always made me smile. I also loved the flashbacks of the Harlem Renaissance and reading about all the amazing music. The romance was absolutely beautiful as well. I cried several times, especially towards the end. Honestly, top to bottom, a perfect book in my eyes. I’m so happy I read it.
Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for an advanced digital reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
