TW: Also a story about refugees/people escaping their home countries being in the water (alive, but still can be traumatic for some!) I like both of the MCs so much. But I don’t care about this romance? I don’t know if it’s the location or the pacing? I feel like there’s stuff I love: sapphic love, bnbs, bodyguard~ element, close proximity/one bed trope, etc. But they were pushed together by a circumstance that I feel like they did NOT touch on enough? Like that chunk wrapped up so quickly? And a lot wasn’t addressed really in terms of Makeda’s background? A lot is going on, lol.
