Can we give Miss Darlene a standing fucking ovation for her range?!?!

This is my third book by her, and each FMC has been a perfect embodiment of woman in all forms.

I love a strong FMC just as much as the next one and Darlene gave us that with Diana in This Is College, but our girl Alonda gave me fragility, femineity, creativity, softness, sexuality, and mental illness rep within the black community that reassured everything in me that I am deserving of love and that men like Charles exist.

Introduced in book one of this series Black People Don't Ski, Alonda and Charles are besties of exes Brandi and Terrance whose casual hook ups turned into something more. Entering this story they have decided to make the leap to move in together. Living with anxiety and a fear of change Alonda really struggles and our boy steps tf up.

I loved this story so much, it's a beautiful feel-good story and we see everyone from book one as this group of friends show maturity, love, and unconditional support for one another.

I can not wait for the next book in this series!!
