This is a sapphic Black love story so if that's your vibe I do recommend!

I however, really disliked Irene. I'm not a fan of the 
  "I'm mean to you because I like you" trope because it's bullshit. I also didn't like that it was ultimately Remi who made the first move because Irene didn't deserve it at the time. Frankly Irene needed to grovel more. She did do things to help Remi without her knowledge but it wasn't enough.......Or maybe I'm just not very forgiving lol
