It’s been nearly two years since Sabrina’s relationship met its end and she’s still mourning what-once-was and what-should’ve-been. It doesn't seem to get easier, even though everyone has been telling her that it will and all she needs is to start dating again. She knows they're right. She needs to move on. So when she meets Daniel Fitzgerald, she realises this is just what she needs. He has the sky in his eyes and the sun in his smile, every dark moment illuminated by the glittering spark between them. But letting go of the past is a lot harder than she anticipated. Pair that with a sprinkling of mistakes and consequences rushing to the surface, the brown girl guilt from choosing to step out of a house immersed in cultural traditions and the inability to move on from what she’s lost, and this dating journey becomes more than just a casual, no strings attached situation-ship. After all, faking it only gets you so far, and Sabrina can't run from her feelings forever. ~ 🏷️ #sumaiyaahmed #sumaiyaahmedauthor #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #indieauthor #bookcover #kindleunlimited #romance #bookrecs #romancebookrecs #newadultbooks #booktok #bookstagram #authorsofinstagram #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #bookrecommendations #bibliophile #newadultromance #newadultreads #southasianauthors #emotionalbooks #coverreveal #ownvoices #authorgram #romanceauthor #igread #browngirltrauma #browngirlproblems
