I liked this, so much. I would’ve loved it, but the “ending” left me frustrated and dissatisfied. Still, it was so lovely to read historical fiction depicting young, rich Black protagonists, who are beautiful and passionate and supportive of one another. There should be more books like this - or if there are, more should be in my TBR!
Moderate: Racism, Slavery, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
Minor: Violence and Colonisation
