Down 'N' Derby by Lila Felix
5.0
I’ve noticed an interesting trend with the Love and Skate series (At least #2 and 3 thus far), is that while the book focuses on setting up a couple and telling their story. The juiciest bits and most satisfying of parts seem to wrap up things from the previous book before it. You really get a sense of it being one cohesive story. Or more like a big bowl of Sylvia's pasta passed around the table from one person to the next. And with Down ‘N’ Derby this is no exception.
ROAD TRIP! Sorry, but that’s one of the things (along with toga parties) that need to be announced with a shout. Maddox and his cousin Nixon set off on a cross-country road trip to try and find Maddox’s biological father and maybe even himself. Along the way he runs into Storey, and introduces a few Black family values into Southern California.
We also get much more Falcon and Reed, and this is Falcon’s time to soar. (Nellie made me use that pun I swear!) We get to really meet the guy everyone swoons over and we’re treated to the turbulent and touching next chapter in their story.
Another great addition to the series!
Now, where can I get a Honey Bee Pizza?!
