When I Think of You
by Myah Ariel
3.5/5 stars
Thank you, Netgalley and Myah Ariel, for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
I wanted to fall in love with this book, and I definitely did with some aspects but not as a whole.
I had a really hard time connecting to the characters in the story, and although I love a second chance romance, it seemed like too much back and forth. I also didn't like that from chapter one, the MMC is introduced. I really wanted to love the FMC on her own before the story turned into them. The story always seemed slow for it being a short book.
I did, however, love the way she navigated grief and how she put a spot lot on the lack of diversity in the workplace/movie industry and the struggles of being a black woman in both areas.
Janet is my girl so this song played in my head the whole book. Overall, I thought the book was cute, but I didn't fall in love. I did LOVE her acknowledgements at the end!!
