Now this was a cute read. Something light if you need a break from whatever you’re reading. Leaving you with a smile. My only thing is I’m always on the fence when popular culture things/people are mentioned. Some of it was okay but outside of that i still enjoyed. 

Winnie and Jamal were absolutely adorable. They both were smitten with each other from jump. Making excuses to see the other while at work was so cute. Honey once they got going though it was “wham Bam thank you ma’am.” Sometimes love is like that and you don’t mind jumping off the deep end. The spice was giving and Jamal may be a “nerd” but i see you Mr. Freak. 

There is family and work place drama. Glad they both found their voices and eventually stepped out on what they truly wanted to do. I loved learning about Winnie’s family and how she grew up. Never came across that pov since I’ve been reading. For Jamal that was some really messed up ish. Everyone should know by now just because they are family doesn’t mean you have to put up with them. Y'all can be cordial and not buddy buddy. If someone does you wrong you don’t owe them your space.
