Party of Two by Jasmine Guillory
5.0
It’s a cute book about a lawyer, Olivia Monroe, and a chance meeting with Senator Max Powell at a hotel bar which blossoms into a complicated romance.
I thought the main character Olivia was super cool and a straight boss. She left the comfort of a stable job in NYC to open her own firm with a friend in LA. She is hardworking and knows what she wants but she also doesn’t. She makes decisions all the time but she takes her time to get to them which is the complete opposite of her political beau.
Max is very spontaneous, has a bit of a temper and is a little selfish. He grew up as the stereotypical white boy from SoCal but has changed his tune during his political career.
I’m glad the author brought up important topics such as racism and privilege but not to the point of annoyance.
Overall, I thought it was a nice romantic interracial book that featured a Black woman that isn’t sexualised or sterotyped.
