I love your style of writing, and I love the storyline. This story was very realistic and down to earth. I felt the emotions of each character. Yes, I shed a few tears. I felt like if I was there experiencing life's ups and down with them. Keep up the great work.
Really enjoyed this book, it’s been hard to get into arickas books but happy i read this one. It’s such a sweet story.
Being genuinely loved by the person you want to be loved by is something truly amazing. Aricka writes it every time!

This was such a sweet read!
Now I think I like second-chance romances! This was my first one, and it was so cute! It was very easy to love Kilah and KB, and root for them. As a Black, queer woman, this book made me laugh, smile and cry. I absolutely recommend this to anyone that wants a lighter read with an ending that will absolutely leave you smiling!
The supporting cast, Black culture references and the amazing representation of all kinds of Black love just made this such a good read. And, we can’t forget the depictions of anxiety, as well as how to support a partner in need and this book gave us an excellent showing of how beneficial communication is between partners.
And I love my little book nieces, Miley and Sophia. ✨
Highly recommend if you’re into second-chance, some fluff and honestly, beautiful, healthy, Black queer relationships.

A heartwarming tale featuring found family and a passionate and supportive love, Author Aricka Alexander writes a beautiful, sapphic, fast-paced, second chance romance. Amaranthine, a story of characters Kilah and Kiley's love and how they lift one another up, had me on the edge of my seat, crying happy tears for their joy. This story also featured anxiety and depression representation but showed how the characters championed one another through it all.
I had the privilege of reading this as an ARC and loved it! I look forward to reading more of Alexander's works!
