This read like a self righteous textbook.

This book could have been half as long as the author only repeated herself once.

I was really excited to get into this book, and I was really excited at the killer opening. It was funny and interesting. I really loved the diversity between the three women we meet right off the bat. One is in STEM, one is a personal trainer, and the other is a doctor. They're all treated poorly by the same dude, and instead of getting angry at each other, they all get angry at him, and become besties. I love this.

This is where the things I loved ended. There was no chemistry between the male and female love interests, I felt that the sex scene was boring, and the only reason I finished it is because I'm going to talk about it on a YouTube video.

Parts of this book were important. I did like the discussion on the challenges of being a black woman, and especially a black women in STEM. I felt it very understandable and relatable to hear the main character talk about how she had to be perfect because she was the representative for all black women in STEM who would come after her. I have often worked in male-dominated spaces and have felt this way too.

But at the end of the day this is a romance novel on the romance sucked. The internal monologues were so long, and the decision-making and rationale of some of the characters was questionable.
