Thank you to Netgally for providing me with this advanced reading copy. With that being said, I have some thoughts about this book.

A quick run down of the synopsis of this book. We meet Feyi who has lost her husband Jonah in a tragic way. The story follows her as she tries to overcome the grief of her husband passing and learning how to love herself again. We watch as she struggles internally with the trauma of losing her husband while also trying to find a way to bring balance back to her life. Enter the romance of the book

Feyi is dating men, but she never truly feels the connection with them like she had with her husband. Feyi finds love, but it is messy and that’s all you need to know. If you want to find out what happened, you’ll have to read it.

This is a slow burn, forbidden love, age-gap, love triangle romance done well.

What I liked- the writing is amazing, but that’s no surprise as the author of this book always comes through with the writing. I also enjoyed how slow the romance progressed between the characters. It got annoying at times, but it made it feel more realistic. I also loved the Black love spilling from page to page. It’s just beautiful.

What I didn’t like- I found the love triangle trope to be a little off putting with how it happened. Just not for me. I also struggled with how codependent the love story seemed, although that can be overlooked as most romance stories seem to have some level of codependency in it.

Honestly I can’t find much to not like about this story. I found the romance to be cute, fun, and it drew me in. I truly enjoyed this story and I think most romance readers will enjoy this one as well!
