G, a young Black woman, loses her beloved father and is looking forward to 2020 being a much better year. Her new boyfriend, Jimmy, a young nerdy white man, provides much comfort and support as she faces and grieves her deep loss. However, both of their families are not fond of their relationship-and that's putting it mildly. And race is only one of the reasons. This compelling, timely, and at times humorous story beautifully portrays that if people are to evolve and grow, old stereotypes and traditions need to be reevaluated. Adult readers age 18 and up will resonate with these highly relatable characters as they struggle to survive and try to keep an open mind in this divisive, polarizing culture
