⭐️ I couldn‘t connect with any of the characters. They were either naive, insecure, or just downright dumb. To be fair, I probably would have enjoyed this book when I was in my 20s and urban lit was really hitting the scene. As a middle-aged mother of 2 young black boys, I really struggled with Dawn and Reese‘s decisions and actions. As for the writing, the word choice felt odd and out of place. This was a #NetGalley #ARC #blacklitsy #blitsy

Chelleo @kgriffith Thanks. I‘m sure it will be a hit with some folks, just not me. Now I can move on to another book from my ever-growing TBR stack. 7y
