Loved this super cute romance. More importantly, I love the breadth of characters and was so happy to read a Black female lead perspective, lgbtq storylines, and the inclusion of the Deaf community. This was all so refreshing. The fact that Camille Baker is a local author is even more exciting.
1.5* This was my First Reads pick. It was ok, but nothing really good or memorable. The beyond the grave mobile app manipulation was too far out there for any suspension of disbelief, and, more importantly, completely unnecessary for the story.
My ultimate disappointment was in the story as a whole - it had issues it discussed, but no heart, nor any kind of authentic emotion. Very write-by-numbers, checking-off-the-laundry-list-of-trendy-issues type of writing. The issues deserve attention, so I rounded up, but unfortunately, not based on merit.

Idea was there. It took me a bit to get into it and I’m not sure if it was the book or me, but once I hit about 100 pages, I was into it. There was something missing and I wish I knew what but it was something. However, it was cute. Your typical romance plus dating apps and past lovers. Fade to black, if you’re curious…
As always, there is something tragic that has happened, in this case the death of a best friend and the MC is trying to maneuver through life, figuring out what to do because she has lost her person.
This book is pro- black, pro- LGBTQ+, pro-natural hair and includes a representative of the deaf community WHO is still going out there and looking for opportunities, which is something I don’t often see.
