Let Us Dream by Alyssa Cole
4.0
Bertha is her own woman, with her own club and her own cause. She doesn't need a dishwasher to muck up everything she has worked so hard for. Amir is just trying to make enough to live on - save up and maybe go home. He doesn't count on dance lessons with his beautiful boss changing what he wants.
GUYS - WHY DOES ALYSSA COLE HAVE THE BEST NOVELLAS?! Seriously. The only reason is this isn't five stars is honestly I wanted more! Bertha is strong and beautiful and honest and smart and so deserves to be loved. Amir is shy and cooks awesome food to prove his affection (weirdly one of my things) and dances in apartments. And I love them both. Not to mention the awesome backdrop of NYC in 1917, illegal immigration, racial tensions, vice squads, suffragettes, a wickedly cool club and some side characters that I could honestly read entire novels about.
