On top of being unwed at twenty five, a crime to her mother, Azere becomes pregnant, and is fighting her attraction towards her coworker, who she hooked up with before, all while trying to be a good daughter and uphold the promise she made to her parents.
Azere is in a lose-lose situation and coping by ignoring her own feelings and wants. The third act break up hurt me, but Azere was going through a lot internally.
There may be a tiny bit of instalove in the beginning, but the book also gives fate and invisible strings by the end. I loved Rafael and Azere together, even when Azere was fighting her feelings and Rafael wouldn’t open up.
This book is sad, tense, and funny, with twists and turns that had me thinking I knew what was going to happen, only for me to be shocked as I continued reading.
OVERALL
Overall, I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars. I loved the author’s writing style and I can’t believe it took me this long to actually sit down and read it because once I did, I was hooked.
