RECOMMENDED: The Right Swipe by Alisha Rai is $1.99! Maya read this one and gave is an A:
The Right Swipe is an amazing, well written story about two people of color falling in love as they come to terms with how the physical, psychological, and emotional traumas they experienced continue to affect them both. It was also, for me, a quiet little moment where I felt my existence was acknowledged.
Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood is $2.99! This one came out last summer and Hazelwood’s books rarely go on sale. Snap this one up while you can!
