"What a beautiful, emotionally generous, goodhearted book! Between Friends & Lovers was an absolute joy to read, with messy, realistic, and deeply lovable characters fumbling their ways through life, making mistakes, and doing the best they can to clean them up. Obuobi's perfect balance of humor and wisdom made this one a true standout."
