Wow, it's been 4 months since I read a book. Iron deficiency is no joke.
This was a quick, cute read. I liked Lenore's secondary plot about figuring out what she wants to do with her life and touches on a lot of real authentic struggles and pressures. She was relatable but I was frustrated with her for most of the book.
On another note Alex was adorable!!!

This was super cute, but it also reminded me why I tend not to read YA romance lol. It’s….dramatic. I like the extra time spent on the FMC being undecided about the course of her life and fearing the lack of “Black excellence” that her parents push her and her siblings to attain. I think that was really well done.

i bought this book with the intentions of reading a black love story without the emotional tool of racism and this was that! though i do wish it was longer i wanna see alex and leorne hanging out of the ship! but all in all the book was enjoyable and i would without a doubt recommend to a friend!

i should know by now that i hate insta love with a burning passion, it is NOT for me at ALL. it’s not believable, it has no life or romance, i never for one second believed that what’s her name could share everything with what’s his name, after hating each other for like ONE SECOND. how come you’ve never told this to your closest friends and after like 5 days you’re pouring your heart out to a guy and being amazed by the BARE MINIMUM like girl get up pls!!!
the only reason this is 2 stars is that it dealt very well with the topic of parenting choices, of putting too much pressure on your children’s future and what it must look like. specifically for black people, who always have to be better than their white counterparts to be seen as equally competent
