The Delay by Danielle Allen
5.0
I Love My People
Damn, Danielle Allen gave the people a history lesson and brought sexy to Juneteenth! The song says, "Do what you do, but watch my shoes..." That's how this India/Trenton party got started. India forgot the words to the song and scuffed up Trenton King's shoes rushing through the airport. After seeing past her afro and into her beautiful face Trenton was left thinking, what shoes? The two end up seat mates on a flight from DC to Atlanta to Houston, and after a tense beginning even turbulence was their friend (wink, wink). At first not knowing their destinations were the same, somewhere between DC and Atlanta Michael Jackson started singing, Wanna Be Startin' Something, and after checking a man about the reality of Juneteenth, King had India singing ma ma se, ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa (in a very public are)! India's ex, Trey tried to pump the breaks on this whirlwind romance, but our ancestors wasn't having that. That Scar looking dude needed to be run off of Pride Rock, I mean Galveston island because India and King had a date to LET FREEDOM RING! Allen's holiday novellas have been amazing, as is all of her writing. I will easily recommend her to any and everyone, Sis is a wordsmith for real. There were some lines in this book, and at 4am I'm chuckling like a fool at, “How do we look as a unit if we go to jail for beating the ass of a dude in leggings over a chick you met twenty-four hours ago?” The Bruhs said Trey was wearing leggings and he looked like Scar...DONE!
