The story has a diverse representation of characters: a Black main character (Nikole), Latino love interest (Carlos), Black lesbian side character (Dana), and overweight Korean side character (Courney).
The first chapter introduces us to Nik at a Dodgers baseball game with her current lover. After only 5 months of dating she finds herself on the Jumbo Tron with a proposal of marriage. When she says "No" the backlash from an entire stadium is horrifying. Her boyfriend and his friends march off to leave her alone with the crowd's jeers.
Enter Carlos and his sister, Angela, who are sitting 3 rows back and come to Nik's rescue. They are strangers to Nik, but she is willing to trust them to get her safely out of the stadium and away from cameras. While Nik is being whisked away in Carlos' car, she text messages her best friends(Courney and Dana) to tell them what happened and to please meet her at their favorite bar. Carlos and his sister join them and that's when the attraction begins for Carlos.
This is a predictable storyline, however there are clever quips and events along the way. If you are looking for a quick light romance read, then this is for you.
