“Yellow” by Aubree Pynn is a compelling urban fiction novella that dives deep into the world of love, and self-discovery. Pynn, known for her vivid depiction of urban fiction and gang life, does not disappoint in this latest offering. The story revolves around Sarai, a young attorney whose life has been shaped by her upbringing in a gang-affiliated family. Despite her professional success, Sarai’s personal life is marred by a series of tumultuous relationships with men who, much like her father, prioritize their gang affiliations over their personal connections.
Enter Dominic, another character born into the complexities of street life. Unlike the men from Sarai’s past, Dominic offers her something different: stability, love, and an understanding of her life that no one else has been able to provide. Initially, Sarai and Dominic’s relationship is casual, centered around being friends with benefits. However, as their connection deepens, Sarai finds in Dominic a partner who not only understands the intricacies of her world but also offers her the emotional support and stability she has long craved.
Aubree Pynn’s storytelling is sharp and engaging, making “Yellow” a captivating read from start to finish. The novella is short and spicy, packed with intense emotions, drama, and the realities of living a life entangled with gang affiliations. Pynn’s ability to create relatable and complex characters shines through, as does her skill in weaving a narrative that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
