This was an absolute slog. Hated the writing style, cheesy, corny dialogue. The story was slow and boring. Couldn’t keep reading it.

Hated the dialogue, felt like it was too quippy with little substance.

I went into this thinking it would be a 5 star read, and while it was good, it didn’t quite pan out as 5 star. I never quite felt like the love story came fully together.

Plot took a turn but I kept going, overall it finished strong. I appreciated the details and the way the author painted the picture and made me feel like I was in Harlem.
