I loved Naya's line of work. I love academia and I loved the inclusion of English Learners. I also really appreciated how language was talked about in her own family circles.
Unfortunately I wasn't crazy for all of the ways the romance unfolded in this story. But overall I did like Jake and Naya.
This was a deep read and evokes a lot of feelings. Please see content warnings!

The book was simply wonderful! I connected with all the characters, especially our main character, Naya. The writing was gorgeous and the story kept me constantly on my tiptoes, excited for what was going to happen next. I seldom find a contemporary romance that I like this much - I'm happy to say that I completely loved this! Everything here worked for me: from the plot itself to the characters and their quirky humor, to the angst and the steamy elements. This feels like a really strong debut from an author I hope to hear more from in the future. I can't wait for what Denise Williams has in store for all of us!
If you're looking for a contemporary romance that has the perfect amount of romance and tension look no further.
