<strong>Picture me not given this five stars </strong>
I’m a major mood reader and this was almost exactly what I was in the mood for. Shanté is a new to me author and I absolutely love her writing style. The flow, the pace, the dialect, the dialogue it made for an effortless read. I love a good black romcom especially when it’s layered with urban flare. The heartache of the subplot was felt without overshadowing the romance. And the romance was top notch. I loved the vibes and energy between Kia and Ju. The spicy wasn’t explicit so it’s very mild but it’s abundant and sexy. I enjoyed this from start to finish and I couldn’t put it down.
