During his lunch hour, Jake, a welder on a new project, walked around the area and went into the coffee house and spotted Tahnee. He remembered the conversation of that morning, and continued to listen to her predicament. That night, since her family was expecting her to have a date, when they all gathered at the coffee shop before going to dinner as a wedding party/family, Tahnee knew she would have to confess to her lie. It was at this point that Jake came in, dressed in a suit and walked up to her (while she was being belittled again by her sister), kissed her and apologized for being late. She recognized him, but did not know his name. Thus began the weekend of her dreams!

Ms. Aliyah Burke has written a fast-paced, quirky story which, even though a little hard to believe, shows that dreams can come true. Her characters are loveable and believable; she presented people from opposite ends of the spectrum—those who are loving and available as well as those who only feel validated if tearing down someone else’s character. I could totally relate to this story and read it in one sitting. It was great and, even though the main couple was from different races, it worked! I highly recommend this and commend the author for her remarkable book.
