Kimberly Brown has done it again with Hold Me While You Wait, a love story about two people with similar backgrounds raising children alone.
As usual, Kimberly Brown handles very sensitive topics, like death, grief, body shaming, and abandonment, with a lot of care. The characters are diverse, well-rounded, and balanced. The story is well-written and engaging, I finished Hold Me While You Wait in a weekend! I couldn't want to put it down - I just had to learn how the story of Xander and Somya ended. And that is my favorite thing about Kimberly Brown's books - she makes you want to finish them. Hold Me While You Wait does not disappoint.
