Kennedy has done it again. I truly don't understand how she writes such beautiful, sad, deep, complex books. She is an artist and she does wonders. 

I ended this book with tears leaking out of my face. Just overwhelmed with sadness, hope, love. Yasmen and Josiah are divorced, not because they don't love each other anymore but because they suffered a huge loss that neither of them truly recovered from and their relationship suffered. They are both in so much pain but they are linked together with their restaurant and their children so still in each others lives. They pretend they have it all together but when Josiah "moves on" with someone else, and Yasmen tries to do the same, their feelings push to the forefront. And they begin to deal with the things they pushed aside during their loss. 

Make sure to check the TWs for this as they are pretty strong. 

I loved Yasmen - she is so vulnerable, and she tries hard to model that for her kids. I loved her relationship with her best friends (and can't wait for their books). And although she is still so sad, the way that she took care of herself, and continues to do that, is just so beautiful to witness. And Josiah - this is like the perfect book to celebrate therapy. And therapy for Black men and boys! What a wonderful father. What a wonderful man. 

I can't say enough how much I love this book and I need y'all to pick it up.
