Publisher's summary

A nostalgic tale of first love, first loss, and the budding womanhood of a Black girl in the '90s.

Tragedy flips Amore Brown’s world on its axis right before she heads off to college. Having to sit tight for the summer, she chooses Jersey City, New Jersey - the home of her estranged father - to pass the time. Here, in urban grit, a stark contrast to the comforts of suburbia, she reconnects with a long-lost cousin for some final months of summer excursions, enrooting, and evolving. But it could never be that simple, even if it were all so simple then....

How much will Amore have to lose in order to find herself? On the road to the woman she is becoming and removed from the girl she is no more, one stop changes her path forever.

"Girls just want to have fun" transforms into the kindling of summer romance tucked into the crust of good times, tribulations, close calls, and one hot summer in Jersey. Amore meets THE guy, finds solace, heals fresh wounds, and battles the thorny relationship with her father, all while learning that heartache has no limits.

Phenomenal

I really don’t know where to start .. I purchased this because Someone in a group I’m in recommended AND AM I GLAD I DID!!! I COULD NOT STOP LISTENING AS WELL AS REWINDING EVERY SO OFTEN TO REPLAY WHAT I HEARD. This was such a great story it pulled me in and had me right there with them. I FOUND MYSELF LAUGHING, CRYING, YELLING! It took me on a emotional ride. The narrator OH MY GOODNESS! This was the first time I’ve heard her and she DID NOT COME TO PLAY… her voices are pure perfection… i usually lean toward dual narration BUT I WILL DEFINITELY LISTEN TO ANYTHING SHE DOES MOVING FORWARD!

Fresh & unexpected

This is such a good story. Ammo’s expedition was truly a rollercoaster ride I was happy to read. I’ll definitely reread this journey over genre any day.

Great story and performance

Fiction audiobooks don't typically keep me engaged, I usually get distracted and miss parts of the story. However, I was highly invested in this story, it was well written and performed.
