Avelyn was toxic as hell. That girl needed therapy real bad.

Girllll!!!

I feel like a proud big sister watching Avelyn get herself together. Sis had me clutching my invisible pearls and fussing like she could hear me. The was a NTMA and I must say I enjoyed my first read!

This was a quick and easy read. I was rooting for the characters but I honestly felt like I needed more. It was like this was almost too quick of a read. I could’ve used more details to develop the story as a whole. I think that would’ve helped set us up better for the ending. I truly felt like I could’ve read about Ave and Dasiah for another 100+ pages.

Avelyn and Dasiah. What shall I say. After a traumatic event in Avelyn’s childhood causes her to loose both of her parents, she vows to never fall in love. She has fun for a few months and when she thinks the guy starts catching feelings, she drops them. While something by feels a little different with her new boo Dasiah, as soon as he expresses his love for she runs. We watch as Avelyn maneuvers through her emotions and come to terms with everything that happened in her childhood. While I wanted to strangle Avelyn in the beginning, as we learn about her backstory I came to love her. I was happy to see her growth. This is one of the first times I have seen an author show a positive relationship with black character going to therapy and I love that it continues throughout the rest of the series.
