This book is an absolute delight! It's a captivating and exhilarating read that will leave you wanting more. The story follows Mickey Hayward, a queer black girl, as she navigates through life's challenges and discovers her true self.

From the moment I picked up this book, I was hooked. Mickey's character is incredibly relatable, and her journey is filled with ups and downs, laughter, and tears. Her writing is sexy, honest, and powerful, and I found myself completely immersed in her world.

One of the things that I loved most about this book was the way it portrayed the experiences of queer black women. It's rare to see such diverse and authentic representation in literature, and I felt a sense of pride and validation as I read Mickey's story.

The love triangle in the book is also well-executed and adds an extra layer of complexity to the story. Mickey's relationships with her ex-girlfriend and a new flame are nuanced and complicated, and I found myself rooting for her throughout.

The setting of the book is also beautifully portrayed. I loved the contrast between Mickey's life in the city and her hometown, and the way that the two worlds collided. It added a sense of depth and realism to the story.

Overall, I cannot recommend this book enough. It's a must-read for anyone who loves contemporary stories about queer black girls finding themselves. The writing is exceptional, the characters are captivating, and the story is powerful and relatable. I guarantee that you won't be able to put it down!
