Heartbeat: A Courageous Love Novel by Terreece M. Clarke

dark emotional hopeful reflective tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

3.25

This book had sooooo many grammatical errors lmao but honestly it was kind of a vibe, it really helped me out of my reading slump! I wouldn’t consider this an enemies to lovers story per se as majority of the book takes place over 7-8 months and the characters fall pretty quickly. There were a lot of characters so that was a bit confusing at times but again just read this book for the vibes.
