A must-read for my black queer ladies
Format: Paperback
This book delivered from start to finish. As a black, queer woman, it is hard to find relatable sapphic romance novels, so I was delighted to read this one. My thoughts are below in no particular order:
I loved all the cultural references and the way the author describes these beautiful characters.
The author did a great job developing the characters and the storyline.
The enemy to crush to lover theme was a refreshing reprieve from the typical friends to lovers storyline I see so much in sapphic romance novels.
The characters are very interesting - I was glad to see the author go with comic artists rather than your typical cliche careers.
Both of the main characters, Noah and Sage, have very different upbringings, and each has her own personal issues going on in the background that they have to work through. This helped a lot with character development and I felt like I really got to know these ladies.
The romance scenes are spicy and I was here for it! Some authors tend to dance around the love scenes, but this author did not spare any of the sultry details, using a chapter and a half to describe one encounter.
Overall, I couldn’t recommend this book enough. It had me turning the pages all weekend long!
