No Ordinary Love by Myah Ariel

4.0

---

I wanted to read this one because I grew up in the 90’s and was a HUGE fan of Mariah Carey and this book was inspired by Mariah and Derek Jeter’s romance back then. How fun is that!?! I think the author did an amazing job writing this one. It’s heartfelt, powerful, and has an amazing meet cute which started my devotion to the novel. Our characters both go through some personal growth and their lives are displayed as raw and relatable, which is something I very much appreciate in books. Ella is taking control of her own life after leaving her cheating ex and Mile’s has his own issues when it comes to his disability which is stuttering. I don’t think I’ve ever read about this impediment in a romance novel, so I was thrilled to see how the author was able to show it didn’t define him. I think this book has the ability for readers to feel seen, which made it very special.

If you like celebrity romances with vulnerable characters I think this would be a great book for you! Now I want to read more from the author!
