This was a fantastic read! Historical fiction is my favorite, and this book tapped into many of my historical obsessions. The black upper class, Howard, colorism, pregnancy, and much more. It dealt heavily with the unfortunate reality of what black women have to sacrifice to achieve success, and how much of our innocence and happiness can be sacrificed for our communities. I hope we get a part 2, or a sequel novel. If not, the ending does seem disappointing and slightly rushed.
