Loved this. A contemporary coming of age (romance?) featuring a messy, attachment averse, queer Black poet in London. The raw honest depiction of an anxious sexual 20something Black woman trying to figure out life reminded me of Queenie by Candice Carty Williams - but queer and with poetry! I felt so warmly towards this MC and found her both relatable and frustrating. The poetry was lovely as well. Definitely recommend.
