Nikki Payne strikes again! I love the way she writes complex family dynamics, class/socioeconomic conflict, and relationships building. Liza and Dorsey’s perspectives were both out of reach based on my socioeconomic background (although I am Black so I could relate to Liza a lot more) I still felt like I knew and understood them intimately. And I felt the same about the characters in her second book too. I also love that they had valid and realistic unrequited love. Also the family and other side characters brought plenty of comedy and frustrations, equally. LOVED IT!!
