The Black teen rom com we NEEDED! Leah Johnson already stole my heart with You Should see me in a Crown, and kept me glued to my seat with Rise to the Sun. This was so light hearted and just the escape I needed for a camping weekend. The details she gave about the stolen looks, the hesitations…….all so adorable. I can’t wait for the next one! I’m definitely hitting up my next music concert just because of this book!

idk.. I just couldn't get into it. I've never heard of this book or author and only downloaded it cuz I needed a short audiobook to listen to during my shift. The premise sounded interesting but I should've known better and reminded myself that I hate instant attraction. I'm not sure what it was exactly but I just wasn't enjoying it. I do hear the author's first book was amazing so maybe I'll check that out

Olivia needs more self awareness cuz how are you gonna be told time and time again from family and friends that you rush into relationships and love, but try to force your best friend with someone that they met for like 2 mins. Olivia is delusional lol. Yes Imani! Olivia is so selfish

i should have read the synopsis before picking up this book because if i had known the main characters were going to "fall in love" in 3 days i wouldn't have picked it up. plus, olivia is playing match making for her friend who CLEARLY doesn't want that and i HATE when characters do that.
