An interesting read that explores relationships, who we fall in love with, marry, and how families intertwine with one another and impact us.

I really liked this. It is vastly different from her earlier book.
I am so far behind on posting.

Conceptually fascinating and structurally distinct, the novel is a love‘s origin story — one that spans decades and continents before its lovers are even born.
Yanique‘s writing style is fluid and lovely, making it easier for the reader to flow along with the jumps in time, in place, in perspective.
How are we romantically readied, or thwarted, by loves of the past - not only our own, but also those of our mothers and fathers?
#BookMail I think it‘s a #MegaBuy @Megabooks !?? #ReadingAfrica22 #Ghana ?? Honestly I can‘t remember but I‘m excited to give it a try 😉
In love with literary romance! The author believes you bring the love that made you to each new relationship. Fly‘s father fled the 1989 SF earthquake with his first love. We learn about Fly‘s mom and then Fly‘s first love. Stela‘s family is from the Virgin Islands and we meet her mom and dad, too. My fave story is Stela‘s first love and how it unspooled after a semester abroad. Then, Fly & Stela find each other in spite of the pandemic. #botm
