Received from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review:
I am always on the hunt for diverse rom-coms, so when this title popped up during a publisher preview, I had to read it. I quickly fell in love with Ember (her pop-culture references were spot-on) and cheered on her efforts to build a better life for herself - all while worrying for the moment the shit, inevitably, hit the fan. Danuwoa was swoon-worthy from the start, and the tension between our leads was perfectly pitched. The cast of secondary characters were fleshed out and interesting, especially Ember's support system. All-in-all, this was a fun, heartfelt romance I devoured and will most definitely return to as a comfort read again and again.
