THIS is how you do a slow burn contemporary romance! I absolutely loved Aaliyah and Ahmad’s chemistry and dynamic; A+ banter and teasing. I had minor reservations about some of the miscommunication (felt a bit stretched/unrealistic) and the way things got resolved, but overall this was a great, very sex- and body-positive read.
