After the Wedding, by Courtney Milan
Apr. 22nd, 2018 05:59 pmI AM SO HAPPY. THIS BOOK IS SO GOOOOD.
This is the second book in the Worth Saga, and when I read the first one a year and a half ago I adored it and was deeply impatient for the next one in the series and it is here and everything I could have hoped for!
This book contains all of the things I most love about Courtney Milan's writing: characters who seem like people, thoughtfulness on topics of oppression and privilege and so forth, a sense of humour, important friend and family relationships, and a whole pile of feels.
Adrian is a well off person of colour who just wants to help people and have his family acknowledged by his white uncle and have a partner he truly loves. Camilla is a white woman of noble heritage who thinks she's been rejected by her family, has definitely been rejected by lots of other people, and just wants to have someone in her life long-term. They are now a TEAM in the job of GETTING UN-MARRIED because they've been forced at gunpoint to marry each other.

(Disclosure: I received a free e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. The book is currently available for preorder and will go on sale on April 24. And in case you can't tell from my review I RECOMMEND IT.)
