Despite graduating high school with honors and accolades, Lenore has never felt good enough in her parents’ eyes.  They expect the epitome of Black excellence, but multitalented Lenore can’t even decide on a college major, let alone a lifelong career.  When her family embarks on a summer Mediterranean cruise, Lenore’s parents expect a decision by the end of the trip.  And just when she’d given up on love altogether, a beautiful boy catches her eye.  This book will make you laugh, cry, and question whether you’re doing what makes you happy, all in the very best way.  Elise Bryant’s second story of Black love is a dreamy 10 out of 10!
