I. LOVE.D. THAT!!

When I tell you I have never wanted a fictional man to be real so bad than I have with Rome! He
rented a damn yacht for Janelle just so she can read on the water!!
and
made sure she could swim with sea turtles when it wasn’t part of the itinerary but she wanted it
All book boyfriends will forever pale in comparison to Rome Martin!

I really loved reading a book that had representation of a friendship group, often times the fmc seems to only have one friend or she gains a friend once she starts dating the mmc so it was refreshing that Janelle had an established and present friendship group. Evie is the best and I hope each girl gets a book (not you Amerie)

Now, listen if Amerie has 100 haters I am one, if she only has one hater it’s me, if she has no haters i must be dead. This woman raised such a visceral reaction in me, her and her mother (I refuse to acknowledge them as Janelle’s family), such an insecure cow and to be that way to her YOUNGER sister left a bad taste in my mouth, Janelle is better than me because I would’ve kept my word and
not attended that wedding
because i’m petty as fuck and both Amerie and Arnold did so wrong by my girl Janelle😤 The reasons? Whack, the “apologies”? Whack

LOVE A BLACK WOMAN FROM ♾️ to ♾️
The tiktok girlies were right. I will say, real people on book covers give me pause and the blurb scared me so much because what a mess???!!
But what a delicious book. I kept reading Rome as Tyrese(Roman in Fast and Furious). 

With that being said, I loved it. It felt like the vibe of best man holiday but make it a destination wedding with a young(ish) group and less chaos

I wish Amerie and Arnold the absolute  worst in life. Two horrible people. 
Janelle is a better woman than me because wtf? I wish she was an ant and went to the earth’s crust with that raggedy ass sister and mother. 

Rome… that’s a black king right there
I wish my two cuties, Janelle and Rome all  the best. It’s what the deserve

This was greattt!!! I didn’t always love all the bullshit that Amerie and Arnold pulled thought the book and how that took away time from the MC’s at times (tho obviously I know that’s the plot i do kinda wish there had been a bit less time focused on them) but Janelle and Rome were absolutely adorable together and I loved their chemistry and how their relationship evolved
