Xeni has been my first read by Weatherspoon. It's been an amazing introduction to her work. The author makes it very easy to fall in love with her carefully crafted characters.
From the beginning of the story, I was charmed by Xeni. I loved the way her reaction to grief felt very real and raw. When it came to the love story between her and Mason, it was sweet and effortless. I was in awe at the way their partnership and camaraderie blossomed. It was so refreshing to have a MMC be openly and proudly bisexual. I appreciated the representation as well as Xeni's reaction.
The wonderful setting and amazing supporting cast all make this book a lighthearted, feel-good read. In other words, it's a certified hood classic.
