The Delay by Danielle Allen
4.0
Sexy and fun! The chemistry between Trenton and India starts strong and only escalates from there. The mutual respect incorporated throughout the story makes this couple one I can imagine staying together for the long haul. It was also interesting to read this whole story from Trenton’s point of view.
The characters meet when they find themselves on the same air travel itinerary to get to a Juneteenth celebration in Galveston, TX. There is some discussion in the story explaining the importance of this day to strangers who don’t understand it, and also discussion of what it would mean for it to be considered a national holiday. I happened to read this right after it was actually made a national holiday in 2021, so seeing this on the page really resonated (with this white reader) in some bittersweet ways. Our country still has a long way to go.
