STAR CROSSED LOVERS! BREAKING A CURSE! HARLEM RENAISSANCE! MOVING TO NEW YORK CITY! LEAVING YOUR FAMILY AND THE FAMILY BUSINESS BEHIND! FOLLOWING YOUR HEART!
I listened to the audiobook (thank you Libby), and I highly recommend that format if it is accessible to you. I rooted for Ricki and Ezra so hard, and was so upset when I found out about the curse. If you like a bit of surrealism with your romance, pick this one up!

5.0
Moderate: Suicide
A uniquely written romance novel that is imaginative yet grounded. Not one moment is wasted. Ricki’s dynamic with her family also really sets her journey and relationships. The story reminded me of Vampire in Brooklyn.
