Oooo Greer can get these hands for real! This book was a delight from start to finish. The reading experience was like a hug. This is an elder millennial love story filled with black culture and I loved it! Ari is an amazing architect and unapologetic big girl starting over after moving back home. Porter is a nepo-baby trying to work his way to the top, when the women of his dreams turns out to be his new partner. The chemistry is fireworks all the way through and I love both of their families. I can't believe this is a debut and I can't wait to read more form Tati.
