When I Was Your Girlfriend by Nikki Harmon
4.0
4 stars. This was really good. It’s not a five star only for the fact that the writing was a bit clunky and awkward at times but that’s because it’s present tense and first person which isn’t my favorite but I got used to it eventually. The story and characters were wonderful.
I loved Dee. She’s a successful Midwife but her love life is a mess. She’s still hung up on her high school sweetheart, Candace, and I really liked the flashbacks of the demise of that relationship and them reconnecting years later.
This was great and I loved the breakthrough that Dee ends up having because she had such a clouded view of her relationship with Candace that when she started to confront what actually happened she was able to see how and why things ended the way that it did. It was very well done. Dee is such a likable character. She’s funny and charming and I was rooting for her the entire time. Everything wrapped up nicely. I will definitely be reading more by Harmon because I am always on the lookout for Black authors who write Black queer women falling in love.
