Romance to do with books will always have my heart. Nick the author and Lily who works at a publishers meet in the most unconventional way as neighbours. But unbeknownst to them this isn’t their first experience with each other.
Throughout this we see them fight their feelings and also the truth emerge on how they truly know each other as although Nick clocks it early on Lily is still in the dark.
Dealing with trust issues, anxiety’s, their experiences as black individuals in the publishing world this book is powerful , well written and truly grabbed my heart.
I’m a sucker for a book within a book but the diversity just added so much more for me too. With them even mentioning rf kuang and her books - more diverse author recognition it meant a lot
