I honestly just wish this book was longer. I feel like the MCs spent the majority of the book overcoming grief which was fine, but I find myself hoping for a bit more excitement. At points it seemed the author was dropping hints that drama might ensue but it didn’t end up going that direction. Nonetheless, it was a great story about black loss, black love, community, and the importance of uplifting the people who made you who you are.
