The depths of the literary fiction, Black fiction, and romance fiction iceberg that I've travelled are still very surface level. So take the rest of this with a very large grain of salt.

The way that this book melds those three genres is incredible. I love a good romance film and find myself frustrated by the way that the couples go through lots of "Will Theys and Won't Theys" before they get to the end and that only takes a couple of hours to play out. I, at every point, in this book hoped that Genevieve (Eva) and Shane would end up together and was frustrated at the world, the characters and their own obstacles that kept them from that.

It's really incredible as a piece of contemporary literary fiction and Black fiction as well, but I know even less about those to be able to pretend to speak on them, but I found those elements really incredible.
