A Little Kissing Between Friends by Chencia C. Higgins

emotional funny lighthearted

3.75

This was cute and hot and fun, and I really enjoy Higgins’ voice. Some of those lines were outright hilarious, like Cyn’s inability to not be horrified by that girl’s laugh, and Jucee saying, “It was amazing how a little motorboating could lift your spirits,” LMAOOOO WHAT! 

But the poor communication/miscommunication was…oof!!!! I am very impatient and have VERY low tolerance for miscommunication, so Cyn’s behavior was a HUGE issue for me. I mean, just from a plot standpoint, she was messy lmao but I just can’t with the lack of talking. The will they, won’t they, figure it out was fun. Cyn’s inability to string a simple sentence together so Jucee could understand how she felt? Not so much.

Regardless, there is a LOT of heart here and I heavily recommend it. Where it was good, it was GREAT! Found family, respect for sex work, and the realization that you’ve found true community was lovely, and I will definitely be reading more of Higgins’ work for sure.

Love Black women loving Black women.
