I had tears

I loved the voices. I loved the characters. they were so good. Friends love i was happy to share the journey with them. I had happy tears at the end. I blamed them on allergies lol.

A great listening

I almosted absolutely loved the story. I did not like the sex scenes, but could fast forward of them. I thought the book was well written and tried to show how many people still think therapy is tabu. I highly recommend this book. If you like romance between Asians and Blacks you will definitely love this book.

Great Story!

I love this book! Love how the characters both grow and become two who could properly fall in love! Great narration!

Brilliant

I loved this book!! Great love story. The delve into Mia's issues and efforts to heal were an important aspect of the book, The friends were fully formed and critical to the story. EXCEPT, mispronouncing "Excedrin."

Such a relatable storyline

This is a story that hits pretty close to home to me. I was not prepared to have so much in common with her and hope that some day I too get a happy ending just like her. The author and both Narrators did an amazing job with this story. I’m looking forward to listening to more!

Not bad

I was pleasantly surprised by the writing, which is why I kept reading. There are a lot of extremely bad interracial romance books out there. You have to grab onto the coherent ones with both hands. This is about Maya (h, 26) and Adam (H, 28). Both have degrees, live in NYC, and have loving families. This is a black woman/wasian man romance. It’s also a plus sized girl/conventionally hot guy romance. There's also a splash of romcom energy. 

The sex was hot. Unfortunately, the romance was tepid. Where was the obsession? The possession? The defense? The pursuit? All missing. During the obligatory 3rd act separation the h has a few bad days then goes back to normal life with her cat, her work, and her trashy friends. Weird. And the major conflict? The H doesn't think she's beautiful. Umm... welcome to reality. Objective beauty has very specific metrics, subjective beauty has none. Adam was extremely attracted to Maya, which is a damn good start. The more they get to know each other, the more beautiful she’ll become to him. IMHO, not being perfect shouldn't throw a person into a tailspin that requires therapy. Maya, go touch grass. Not everything is a mental illness. To be clear: this h was a successful entrepreneur, had an active romantic life before meeting the H, had no problem initiating sex, had zero shame walking around naked, and made bold sartorial choices (I mean, she didn't dress down once or wear a single pair of pants the entire book, meanwhile, irl, most of the western world lives in jeans and ath-leisure). Does that sound like someone with body issues?
