A tender, smart, conversation-starting love story which explores questions of identity and the legacy of the slave-trade in 21st-century Britain
'A must-read... compulsively timely novel' Stylist
When Layla and Andy first meet, they can't believe they have the same surname. It feels like fate...
Sera, Layla's best friend, has her doubts about Andy. As the couple fall deeper in love, 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 - could their families be linked in the worst possible way?
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.
