I really liked this book. I would give it a higher rating but the ending was abrupt and I do feel like the story could have gone even deeper. I’ve never read anything like this. A story about 2’pwople who fall asleep n live despite being on the complete opposite ends of the ideological spectrum. Think far left and far right. But the author did a good job of finding common ground and making their similarities so compelling and real - like they are totally compatible except for the elephant in the room. I also think the synopsis is confusing, they marketed this book as a romance and it’s more a coming of age. I would recommend it ,
in fact I think it would be a great book club book. So much to unpack.

Honestly had no idea what this story was about before I read it but if I knew it was about a romance between a black woman and a racist white man I would have never picked it up

Mismarketed, thought provoking, uncomfortable
Not sure if any of the featured reviewers quoted on the cover read the same book I did… it’s certainly not an “extremely funny American romance” or “plain funny as hell”
