One True Loves by Elise Bryant
4.0
I really enjoyed this summer vacation romance between two total opposites as they meet on a cruise with their families before each heads off to college. The author does such a good job writing real, relatable characters. Her books aren't just happy YA romances but discuss real issues about race and the extra parental and societal pressures faced by teens of color, especially those struggling to figure out what they want to do with their lives.
Lenore is the complete opposite of her rom-com loving bestie from Happily Ever afters (which I loved). Where Tessa is a bit love obsessed, Lenore is more jaded, having been burned by love from a series of terrible past relationships. When she meets Alex, a type A guy who seems to have his whole future mapped out the sparks definitely fly but it takes her a while to warm up and see there's more to the seemingly perfect Alex than meets the eye. Definitely a fun read, perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon, Renee Watson or Kristina Forest. Great on audio narrated by Joniece Abbott-Pratt.
