I am not sure how to feel about this book. I loved reading about Emira's and Briar's relationship, it was adorable and felt real. The ending I also liked. It was not completely what I expected it to be, so that's a huge plus.

However, I have mixed feelings about how the book was written. It reeked of white saviorism and at some point I even double checked who the author was because it read like something a white woman would write on struggles about being black in a "fun", "rom-com" way. Which made me wonder how authentic the book really is.

All in all, not a bad read (an easy read, actually!), but sure could have benefited from some improvement.

3.5 stars
