One of the best books of the summer. Wowowowowow did I love this. I will say from the jump CW for fatphobia - itโs RAMPANT. But I think especially from Uncle Al (TRASH) itโs accurate to the Black community - my grandma called me thunder thighs for years ๐๐
What I loved about this was the growth of Aaliyah and how she always knew she was amazing. And that her weight was part of her that also made her beautiful. I loved the descriptions of clothes also - made me want to be fancier.
And Jazz and Nina were absolutely hilarious like wow BEST FRIENDS in romance are my favorites. Lastly Ahmad????? BRUH SIR HELLO LFG HOTTIE. Absolutely loved him and how much he obviously loved Aaliyah.
This is a perfect summer read.
