A Love Like the Sun

Laniah Thompson is mortified when she can’t pay the rent for Wildly Green, the barely one-year-old natural-hair care company she owns with her mother. Laniah is also troubled by nagging health concerns, likely anxiety-related but perhaps something worse. When Laniah’s longtime best friend Isaac Jordan discovers her financial troubles, the foster kid turned famous model and artist makes a life-changing post on social media: a photo of Laniah tending to his hair using Wildly Green products. Isaac’s caption, “It’s always been her,” brings immediate financial success to Wildly Green. His scheme to fake a relationship with Laniah for the summer appears to be a brilliant solution, until real-world emotions start to twine around these two longtime friends. YA author Neilson’s (Deep in Providence) stunning adult contemporary romance debut is narrated with emotional depth by Frankie Corzo, whose soft and lyrical voice never leaves doubt as to which character is speaking.
