"I'm 25. I've never had sex. And I just matched with a man who might ruin that whole streak."
Camille Jones isn't shy. She's loud, loving, and always the life of the brunch table. After earning her master's degree, she left the Bay Area and moved to Chicago to chase her dream career in social media. Now she's thriving-well, sort of. Career? Check. Friends? Double check. Love life? Um... that's where things get tricky.
She's never had sex. Never been in love. And after years of school, stress, and playing the supportive friend, she's finally ready to focus on herself.
Enter Marcus: 28, dark-skinned, fine, with locs, a camera, and that creative, emotionally-aware energy that makes her stomach flip. Their first date is cute. Too cute. One kiss in, and suddenly, Camille's wondering if the guy she just met might be the one to change everything.
A slow-burn, laugh-out-loud, black love, slow burn, grown-girl-coming-of-age story about firsts, flirtation, late bloomers, and figuring out what love looks like when you've done everything but fall.
