There's something evocative and luminous about the writing in this book. I'm not sure I would characterize it first and foremost as a romance, because it's as much about friendship and family (both adopted and otherwise) and relating to one's self as it is the romance.

character goes to therapy to deal with parental trauma related to higher expectations of minoritized people which may be triggering to people who have experienced similar trauma

Wow. I absolutely loved this book. An incredible debut. I read this book quite quickly. It was such an enticing read. I loved the characters - their strengths, their flaws, their relationships. It was a difficult read at some points. It brought up some personal things for me. While I could never, ever fully relate to Grace and the racism she experiences, the familial issues she has, I fully related to so many of her struggles with perfectionism and anxiety. I laughed, I cried. I would highly recommend this book.
