"This is Rogers' debut novel and she really made a phenomenal story. It follows a very straight-laced, by-the-book Black astronomer from Portland who goes to Las Vegas to celebrate her birthday and ends up getting drunkenly married to a Japanese radio show host from New York. After their nuptials though, they part ways to their sides of the country. However, in an attempt to run away from her fears (and the cloud of 'What am I doing?' that sits over our late 20s), the astronomer spends the summer in NY with her new wife. The story is perfect for sappy love story lovers and tackles imposter syndrome, self-actualization, mental health for people of colour, and more. It's definitely a coming-of-age story for the 20- and 30-somethings that's relatable, deep, funny, and written beautifully. Loved it and I need more people to read it and gush over its pages with me." — Moná Thomas, editor, Living, and content strategist, Brandshop
