One True Loves by Elise Bryant
3.0
Lenore is an artist, but she is not really sure where her place in the world is. Yes she is going to NYU, but to study what? What does she want to be? And her family is constantly pressuring her. She has to do better, be better, because being black she will never get the same chance as others.
And we als get to see what that pressure does to her, and her brother. Though her kid sister seems to be a genius who will probably thrive under any pressure.
But besides generational pressure there is also romance. And a Mediterranean cruise!
Lenore meets Alex. The perfect boy (according to her parents), and she is so annoyed with him (I did not get why, like give the kid a chance.) So she is annoyed with him, they become friends, and they become more. But can she give him a real chance cos of heartbreaks in the past? It was a sweet romance, yes every this is true love stuff.
I enjoyed it, it handled a lot, but it handled it well. I also got really curious about the first book where her friend finds her perfect one.
Good narration. She did well with male and female voices and it worked so well.
