From the moment I started this book, I knew I would love it. It just got better and better with each page/minute. (Definitely a good listen if you’re into audiobooks.) Eva is such a relatable character. She’s real. She’s raw. And she’s just  an all-around dope ass Black woman. I think the writing is stellar and there were so many nuggets I wanted to highlight or write down while listening. I was looking for a silky, smutty romance novel when I went to read this, but was  blissfully surprised to find that it was nothing of the such — yet everything I needed and more. It was deep and thought-provoking, and as I mentioned before, so relatable. I think the characters’ stories and arcs were so real that I didn’t necessarily walk away wanting a love like Eva and Shane’s. Instead, I walk away understanding why a love like Eva and Shane’s exists. And why

they’re end game anyways.

If that makes sense.

this is genuinely one of the best books i have ever read. williams writes about love, sex, general trauma, race, passion for career, the hardships of both motherhood and teenage years, and so much more so impeccably well. there were several moments i had to physically set the book down to take a breath because i was so excited, and other moments where i had to force my eyes to stay on the sentence i was reading instead of skipping ahead to figure out what happens. she captured a stronger glimpse of the human experience than any author i’ve ever read. i’m left in awe of this book and would recommend it to anyone.
