Genevieve Francis has been stuck, both professionally and personally, ever since Jude, her ex-boyfriend, proposed to her at his father's funeral. Now she's working for a newspaper staffed mostly by straight white folk, unable to avoid their microaggressions or further her career. But then she gets a chance to make a name for herself: writing a profile on Jude, wealthy and desired CEO. Mixing ethics and an old flame - what could possibly go wrong?

I loved this so much! What an incredible debut. I adored Genevieve right from the start, thanks in no small part to the exceptionally strong narrative voice that Travis gave her. It made me sit up and pay attention. I'm also keen on second-chance stories - and this is one of the most satisfying ones that I have read, because both MCs had to really work for it and we get to see them both grow so much. Gosh, I am going to be thinking about this book for weeks.

Lastly, I should add that it's so important for these stories to be told, but it's equally as important that we read them.

I absolutely lovvvvvved this book! It’s relatable, yes, but it’s also written so well. Gen is spot on in her depiction of life, love, and heck existence for Black women and Black women in mixed race relationships. And Jude is spot on in his own right as well. Together is an amazing, clean love story. I wish all races would pick this up bec we can all grown and learn from it. And the romcom flow is sweet as pie! You are rooting for them with every page turn. Excellent read for sure!
