#19 NETGALLEY READ: FOLLOW ME

📖 BOOK TITLE: FOLLOW ME  📖AUTHOR: ELIZABETH ROSE QUINN  📖 PUB DATE: MAY 6TH 2025  📖THOUGHTS&OPINIONS:  #138thBookOf2024 Ok, it's time to breathe, actually maybe a breath or two because what did I just read? 🤯🤯 I was expecting a cozy mystery because how can a grown woman of twin boys disappear without no trace?

This is a very unconventional novel for me, and it is so unlike anything I've read. And most importantly, it is told from Neon's POV Black Boys Love too ❤. I know in most black-oriented novels, we have racism, drugs, and the rest, but this novel is about love, and it is focused on love. Another important thing I love is how both Aria's and Neon's parents are fully involved in their lives; you don't se
