A Love Like No Other

This. This is a LOVE Story. Though, there are so many layers in this art piece— The love between Shaun Taylor and Caprice Latimore is outer worldly. Shaun is the blueprint for what a man, lover, best friend should be. The love started young but it wasn’t superficial, honestly it was deeper than most people will ever experience deep into adulthood. I’ll probably read this book every year and add to the review every time because it is just that good.

This book has a trigger warning⚠️ but the author did not just give us the heavy heartbreaking trauma, she also gave us recovery and healing.

So many elements that speak to me personally. This book had tragic elements, true friendship, LOVE, healing, honesty & the author executed it flawlessly. I really can’t put into words how great this book is!

I am sure it was challenging to write about black kids in poverty who experience deep trauma. How we are vulnerable to untreated mental health Issues: negative self-image, depression, anxiety, etc. and the vulnerability to verbal, sexual, and physical abuse/violence.

Shaun and Caprice’s friendship & love— they are best friends, soulmates. This wasn’t a puppy love, even when they were teenagers. I truly believe Shaun loves Caprice to death and beyond. There’s nothing that he won’t do for her. Shaun will always be my favorite hero of all time!! He had no formal training but he saw her and instantly wanted to do all he could to love and protect her. & Kahfi— I can’t spoil this, you have to read this book.

The love they share is selfless, timeless.
This quote was everything:
“You can never win against someone if you don’t ever want to see them lose.”


This is the type of 5 star read that stays with you forever, not only because it’s unforgettable but because it’s so amazing you don’t want to let it go.
This is my forever favorite.
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you for this story.
