A tender, smart, conversation-starting love story which explores questions of identity and the legacy of the slave-trade in 21st-century Britain
When Layla and Andy first meet, they can''t believe they are both McKinnons. It feels like fate, almost too romantic to be true.
But Sera, Layla''s best friend, has her doubts about Andy. As the pair fall deeper and deeper in love, she becomes more and more vocal about Layla settling down with a white boy. And then, only a few weeks before their wedding, Layla discovers the possible truth behind their shared surname.
What seemed like a fairy-tale romance is rapidly derailed. In part propelled by Sera''s rising anger, Layla begins to uncover parts of her history and identity that she never could have imagined, or -- perhaps -- had simply learnt to ignore.
