Lights Out by Navessa Allen

dark emotional funny reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No

I'm traumatized from "dark romance" rant reviews on tiktok but this was pretty chill? It's a dark-ish romcom. A lot of it was the narration (hello Jacob Morgan) but overall it was almost slapstick at times and nothing too weird/icky happened throughout. Will definitely read Junior's book, though I will be disappointed if the narrator doesn't have a New Jersey Italian accent.

Hot take, there should be content warnings for surprise

traditional values

lol. EPILOGUE SPOILER

Apparently event the "dark" books have to end with marriage and talk of having 6 kids.
