This one right here!!! The way so much of this story spoke to the love of this sub genre. I loved an appreciated the way Richardson choose to give her MMCs two of the hardest career paths in which to navigate queerness and a polyamorous lifestyle. Alisa was a fun and real character I enjoyed her a lot. This whole story feels like taking a risk or a giant “hold my cup.” Instalove in a contemporary poly dynamic. A queer PK football player and pansexual political figure. A plus size Black love interest for those figures. Richardson said if folks like to think non struggle successful Black love isn’t realistic, no problem. Let’s live out all our “wildest fantasies.” They are going to lose their minds over this one! While things went of the rails fast and hard first with Chris after the primary election, then all of them on election night, which I found dramatic and slightly confusing how they went from 0-100. And the reconciliation wraps up a little too quick for me. I need GROVELING!! This is overall a fun, smexy, nasty (in the best ways), spicy read. Mrs. Richardson knows how to pouch my 1-click ticket every time!
