“I Recommend this book”

The author portrayed the interracial intricacies, as well as age differences, well. I found the characters to be really human and the romance believable. It wasn’t overbearingly steamy, and that made the climax of the story worth the wait..

I honestly had no expectations going in, but that was literally the best short story I’ve ever read

“Quick Paced and Satisfying End”

Romance stories aren’t usually my thing, but this is much more than that. It’s an intimate look at how even people who love each other can drift apart. Bonus Points for main characters being people of color!
