This is a beautiful book. A little slow for me at times, but it is a very heartfelt story. Emira’s journey is one that so many of us go through in one way or another. The novel really explores how difficult it can be to choose yourself over others in your life, but how absolutely critical it can be as well. The characters in this novel feel so real, and each one is a complex network of flaws and positive traits alike.

I really enjoyed the perspectives of both characters and liked the story overall. Something felt lacking for me plot wise, but I haven't been able to put my finger on it. Definitely would recommend this book to anyone looking to gain perspective on the experience of being a Black young women, specifically working as a

nanny

. Also deals with a romance, although it is not the primary focus. Dual POV, limited third person.

I really enjoyed the plot, characters and setting. It was a really thought-provoking and nuanced read. I loved the focus on this one moment in all the characters' lives that changed things forever - but in other ways changed nothing at all. It was an interesting look into how we perceive events and interact with others, and how white people can change or influence the narrative with their own bias, prejudice and systemic power.
