there's nothing i love more than black love <3. this absolutely ATE. i had a great time reading this - i wasted no time starting and finishing this!! the romance didn't feel forced, everything flowers beautifully. thank you for the arc netgalley!!

This book captures the magic of finding true connection when you least expect it, all while delivering humor, passion, and a reminder that sometimes the most scandalous relationships can lead to the sweetest love stories. If you’re looking for a swoony escape that balances romance and personal growth, this is the one!

"Something happens when faced with a bully who no longer has a hold on you. Eventually you get the spark to fight back".

The worlds of music and sports intertwine with such a glaring reality in 'No Ordinary Love'. Pull back the curtain on hair, makeup, money, and success, and you get two characters that just settle into your bones. Ella and Miles are both dealing with deep relationship betrayals on a public scale and their love story is healing. So good. The pining is palpable, the anxiety, and the emotional wringer the characters go through is executed so well.

Myah pulls the curtain back on the exploitative relationship record labels have with artists. But also the powerful men that hold that power over female artists and entertainers. There’s no way Myah could’ve ever predicted what’s currently going on in the music industry when writing this book and, my goodness…this is just good writing (Side-eye to Elliot).

The level of empowerment and growth Ella goes through in this book is truly such a treat. But this line? “But what if I want to belong to you?” lord have mercy, it had me shook. It’s so rare for male characters to quietly exude and effectively communicate so many emotions. Miles is such a great character that lives in quiet intimacy and quiet strength. But he also demonstrates confidence and solidity.

Now, music. I love playlists that authors list as companion pieces. But in 'No Ordinary Love'? It’s a bed rock that can’t be ignored. It's baked into important moments. Mariah, Aretha, Mary J., Whitney, Sade the list of endless juggernaut female vocalists are embedded in the narrative. You feel the impact of them on Ella. It's luscious and excellent.

My favourite parts have to be the music video and the voice notes I know those two things are going to make readers go wild next year.

Thank you so much Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC! ‘No Ordinary Love’, is out next year in April 2025.

After When I Think of You and this masterpiece, Myah is quickly becoming a new favorite author of mine. This was a great love story, with hilarious banter and many swoony moments.
