   No current Talk conversations about this book.  Donnela | Apr 30, 2024 |    ) deborahee | Feb 23, 2024 | This is a refreshingly unconventional and also very sweet falling-in-love story (and also a getting-through-a-quarter-life-crisis-what-do-I-do-when-no-one-hires-me-after-I-finish-my-doctorate-degree story). Narration on the audio is excellent and I love Grace's romantic way of talking about the astronomy stuff, as well as Yuki's concern for all of the lonely people she shares her podcast with. The complex relationships Grace has with Yuki, family and chosen-family friends are also interesting and love-filled. The psych therapy drags a bit toward the end, but this makes the story more realistic (finding and working with a therapist is often a long process compounded by the shortage of therapists of color) and I think that's also important. Feb 2024 bingo challenge: two word title, Black cover model, published in February, takes place in NYC (and Oregon and Florida), includes a birthday and a wedding.

Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author of The Proposal When becoming an adult means learning to love yourself first. With her newly completed PhD in astronomy in hand, twenty-eight-year-old Grace Porter goes on a girls' trip to Vegas to celebrate. She's a straight A, work-through-the-summer certified high achiever. She is not the kind of person who goes to Vegas and gets drunkenly married to a woman whose name she doesn't know...until she does exactly that. This one moment of departure from her stern ex-military father's plans for her life has Grace wondering why she doesn't feel more fulfilled from completing her degree. Staggering under the weight of her parent's expectations, a struggling job market and feelings of burnout, Grace flees her home in Portland for a summer in New York with the wife she barely knows. In New York, she's able to ignore all the constant questions about her future plans and falls hard for her creative and beautiful wife, Yuki Yamamoto. But when reality comes crashing in, Grace must face what she's been running from all alongâ??the fears that make us human, the family scars that need to heal and the longing for connection, especially when navigating the messiness of adul No library descriptions found. |

This was wistful and airy and really wonderful. It was a girl going through challenges and the story woven around that is phenomenal. She has a wife, she has friends, fucked up parents and it’s all messy. You get a glimpse of their messy love and life. You relish in the humanity of it all. You can’t help but love it.
It took me a while to get into it, but once I did, it became infinitely better. I found myself relating to the MC in some ways. When she felt lost not knowing what to do or how to move, I was right there with her because that’s right where I am. I felt less alone for a while. (
