Lina’s a successful wedding planner who keeps it together for her clients and keeps her feelings locked down - until a new job opportunity means she’s forced to work with the man who’s responsible for her being jilted at the altar - her ex-fiancé’s best man. The Worst Best Man by Mia Sosa is a romantic comedy that strikes the perfect balance between funny and heartfelt: everything from laugh out loud moments involving Lina’s big Afro-Latinx family (so many amazing matriarchs!) to hard hitting moments like Lina acknowledging the pressure for women - particularly women of color - to remain composed and dispassionate in order to be taken seriously. I’m looking forward to Sosa’s next book The Wedding Crasher, out next year! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Today’s post features this bookish painting my wildly talented mother did for me because - books, duh. 😍 via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/COfdIy1LAAd/
