fun little enemies to fake romance to lovers story. bolu babalola is a fantastic writer - story is as much about kiki’s character development and friendships as it is about her romance. highlights the Black post secondary experience and focuses on Black friendships and excellence. broad variety of characters all told authentically.
Minor: Racism, Toxic friendship, Sexual harassment, and Police brutality
