Unity in the black community is all that Senai Asheton knew. From Marietta, black love, black children and black crime were flooding the city, and her memories bittersweet moments. After her mother loses custody of her due to drug and child abuse, Senai moves to a predominantly Dominican, black and Puerto Rican neighborhood in Miami, Florida. 

Seeing a totally different lifestyle being practiced and done in this city questions everything Senai thought she knew. Colorism is heavily encouraged, which brings this teenager, who once loved her skin tone, down to insecurity and shame. With a help of her new neighborhood friend Dehran, she gets an understanding of how people in different cities treat her beloved people, and tries to keep her confidence high in the midst of it all.

This book is heavily inspired by Moonlight and Selah and the Spades. Enjoy.

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
