The narrators of A Love Song For Ricki Wilde were amazing.  Mela Lee who narrated most of the novel brought the characters to life!  I enjoyed the story.  I love the set up, a young woman who's never fit in with her family moves to Harlem to follow her own dream of running a flower shop.  Along the way she makes new friends and find romance.  The romance, is of course complicated; here the novel takes a turn into magical fantasy.  Ricki and her friends are great characters, however I did have trouble suspending belief and just going with the set up.  Tia Williams is a talented writer and I look forward to discovering what she writes next.  Also, shout out for the gorgeous cover art!
