ARC Review!!
This book was so so brilliant. A black girl stuck in the fast paced world of writing for a publishing company in New York gets everything nearly stripped away from her. How do you claw your way out of that depression when its affecting you, your significant other and your mental health?
I think this book is so important in exploring how one mourns something that was so bad to them, so unfair and yet it's all they know- who are they without that job title?
This book delves into the above themes while exploring the intersections of queerness and blackness. How upbringing and your past might influence your present day self and how to move forward.

I melted into this book and loved every minute of it- if you're looking for a contemporary story of a queer black girl finding herself, you'll love this.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book!! :)
