unexpectedly heavy
I could see why people really loved this book and found it to be a beautiful story of soulmates finding each other again, but I could not get past that the way they began was anything but romantic. This book was so heavy at times and I found it really hard to root for a couple who fell in love in a drug-induced haze of a week when they were 17. It wasn't romantic to me in the slightest and this book just left me feeling bummed. Shoutout for the disability rep though!

Amazing Summer Read!
If you’re new to romance, I highly recommend! A refreshing, sultry, summer read that I could not put down. Tia captures a beautiful, Black love story that is so witty and so sexy.

Decent read
I enjoyed the book overall. Great writing but the main female character was annoying. There was a lot of unanswered questions the main couple. Things were left untold. I really liked the daughter Audre. First time reading any of Tia Williams books.

Easy smooth read
It started off a little slow but quickly piqued my interest around chapter 4. Great character development and I absolutely loved the daughter Audre. Even her name was phenomenal. I wanted more back story of Shane but overall great book that held my attention.

my favorite romance
I loved this books so much. It's a little heavier than a typical romance - and by that I don't mean it's a dark romance - but that the characters are dealing with some heavy situations and mental health struggles so check those content warnings. That said it is so worth it. This is the kind of story that sucks you in and sticks with you. There's a dual time line with the main characters as teenagers then later as adults but Williams did an amazing jibs writing them with distinct voices. There's nothing worst that a story with a time jump and not knowing wether or not you're reading from the adult or teenage perspective because there's so little character growth. These characters grow up and change and better themselves in such and interesting and well written way. Loved it so much, perfect summer read.

Shane and Eva
4.5 ⭐ 1.5 🌶️ 4 🎧 This was everything I love about women's fiction but it had just a touch a spice that made me swoon. I absolutely adored the setup too—the idea of these two having their first week as teens and this reunion week was fantastic, but even more so was the way Tia expertly interwove the timelines together. It was spectacular and angsty and just so dang good. I loved watching Eva's relationships unfold and grow with not just Shane, but her daughter, her mother and her friends too. This was the heart of the "women's fiction" side of this story and was truly beautiful. I was scared for a minute I'd have to toss this one out of the romance pile, but thankfully Shane and Eva found their way back to each other and I got my happy ever after. The audio was great. Mela Lee was wonderful and I really loved this listen.
