This book was a fun rom-com! It has an all Black cast, and our MC is a woman in STEM which was a huge seller for me. I LOVE a strong intelligent female lead!
Naledi Smith is an orphan who lives in NYC. She has worked her whole life to get where she is. Now on top of her grad school work, and multiple jobs, she is getting very persistent emails from a spammer insisting she is betrothed to an African prince.
The end of this book felt more rushed than I prefer. I felt like it wrapped up too quickly. I still enjoyed the dynamics of the rest of the book. I LOVED the MC Ledi. Definitely recommend.
