A book about a book with a love story woven around the pages as they come to life this book was so easy to fall in love with.  With diverse representation with BIPOC characters as well as addressing societal/ structural issues of racism at parts and portrayed important messages while doing so this book is so thought out and well written. 

Izzy and Beau enemies to friends to lovers arc is so engaging and the way the book is used to reveal the depths of the love at the end honestly brought tears to my eyes.  Couldn’t reccomend more.  A great intro to romance too as it isn’t anything to much , more just some kissing and hugging etc when it does elaborate
