On Rotation by Shirlene Obuobi
4.0

This romance between medical student Angie and Ricky, a man she met when she was feeling blue is lovely and wholesome. Angie is from a Ghanaian immigrant family who demand a lot from her. Ricky is from a close Latine family that isn't without its challenges. Angie gets her warmth from her roommate and long-time best friend Nia and their friend group. The story is as much about Angie finding her way as a doctor-to-be, standing up to her parents, and negotiating what happens in friendships with people's relationships begin to take precedence as it is about whether or not she gets the man.
