Book: 3.5
Narration: 2.5
I won’t return to this narrator. Needs to take an improv class.

Good representation of sickle-cell anemia - a disease I knew very little about (though occasionally portrayed in slightly overwrought fashion here.) 

There’s a lot of layers to this story: some are handled better than others.

Kind of predictable in act 3.  Like I'm happy the FMC and mmc are mature adults and have a believable story. I just ended up wanting to hang on tho to see how things resolved with her work rather than read the romance.

slow-paced

 A biracial (Black/Asian) bridal designer with low self esteem/low confidence and sickle cell anemia who works for a low key racist well known designer who demeans all of her creations goes home to help her father who broke his hip and reluctantly meets a retired military man who is poorly managing the bridal shop he inherited from his mother while raising a preteen daughter who is traumatized by the murder of her mother in a church massacre and who will not forgive her father for not being there when his commanding officer refused to give him leave. Woooo. A long sentence summarizing a novel incorporating every issue – except romantic attraction - the author can slide into a story. 

Disappointing because this author came highly recommended.
