Neilson, Riss M

Highly recommended for listeners who enjoy romances that blend swoony feelings with high-stakes challenges like mental health, disabilities, grief, and racial identity. Share with readers of Kennedy Ryan and Tia Williams.

YA author Neilson’s (I’m Not Supposed To Be in the Dark) adult debut is a slow-burn, sexy, friends-to-lovers romance that deals with emotionally difficult issues like grief and chronic illness but also includes themes of friendship, family, hope, and learning to trust in the power of unconditional love.
