I was excited for this book so I'm high key disappointed. It's insta-love with miscommunication trope in end I just wasn't invested.

4.something stars, but almost 5!
If you’re an African daughter (or not) here for the DRAMA, plot, culture, and romance, BUCKLE UP (like genuinely, strap in).

This is not my typical genre so I know it affects my rating. I wanted a little more depth about the cultural differences. Overall, not a bad book, just not anything special to me.

A girl who falls in love and has to choose between family and the guy she loves. I loved every part of this book! The third act break up made me mad but it always does

FLEW through this book. Loved the writing style and dialogue and discussions throughout about finding your voice, choosing between your heart & your family, grief, love, etc. Even though the main premise included a trope I hate, the book still managed to win my heart, which is so rare, and I'm really glad I picked this one up on a whim!
