'A warm, sweet love story, and a thought-provoking examination of the British slave trade and its legacy' MARIAN KEYESWhen Layla and Andy first meet, they can't believe they have the same surname. It feels like fate... until they realise their families could be linked in the worst possible way. Sera, Layla's best friend, has her doubts about Andy right from the start. As the couple fall deeper in love, and start to plan their future, Sera becomes more and more vocal about Layla settling down with a white boy. And then, only a few weeks before their wedding, Layla makes a devastating discovery.... What seemed like a fairy-tale romance is rapidly derailed as Layla begins to uncover parts of her history and identity that she had never imagined - or, perhaps, had simply learnt to ignore. And now, she faces an impossible choice, between past and future, friendship and marriage, the personal and the political. **A STYLIST UNMISSABLE BOOK FOR 2024**'I loved this book' JACQUELINE CROOKS, author of Fire RushREADERS LOVE DOMINOES:'Tender, thought-provoking and hard-hitting''Kept me second guessing how things would turn out until the very end''Incredibly thought-provoking''Such an important novel''I laughed, I cried, I learned A LOT''So much more than a love story'
