Can a love triangle be...cute? Sweet? Lighthearted? Fun? Yes it can. Zora Books Her Happily Ever After was all of that. And in all honesty, I love how the author framed the relationship development. There's clear communication from the jump. Everyone knows that mutual exclusivity is not a requirement. They're all just dating, getting to know one another, and more importantly Zora, Lawrence, and Reed all seem to be on the same page. Or are they? Why do Lawrence and Reed seem like they are each hiding something? Is it a red flag if a man dismisses one of your favorite genres (ie. romance) when you are a successful bookseller? How about if they prefer to talk about themselves when you're out on a date? Or if they gaslight you after yet again leaving you high and dry in the bedroom? The more you get into the story, the more you as a reader begin to see that one of these fellas is not all he's cracked up to be. I wanted to see him get his just desserts after showing his machismo proclivities. UGH!

It's a fun and fluffy romantic escape that of course features a thriving Black cast and community.
