“I don’t know. I’ve been having an existential crisis about my place in the world and what I’m supposed to be doing with my life and who I even am.” ⁣

Meet Grace Porter. She’s a 20-something, black lesbian who just graduated with her doctorate in astronomy. She had a plan and she stuck with it...until she drunk-married a complete stranger in Vegas and doesn’t even know the girl’s name. ⁣

This book was just what I needed after reading two heavy nonfiction books earlier this month (although this books still has some triggering topics like depression, anxiety and self harm). I loved the premise of a drunk night in Vegas taking a SERIOUS turn—especially for a type A character with her life planned out, like Grace. ⁣

The characters in this book were so diverse and not just racially. Their careers, their mental health, their geographical locations...so much diversity and I was here for it. 🙌🏼⁣
