Black girls deserve their happily ever after as well!

Black people falling in love written by Black people

finding love in a big city can be just as fun as finding love in a small town! I love small town romances, but as a girl from a big city, I want to give big city romances their time to shine ✨

here’s a list of books where our main characters live in a big city and fall in love there. cities can be real (London, Paris, New York, LA, Tokyo, etc.) or fictional (Minas Tirith, King’s Landing, Gotham, Bon Temps, etc.)!

as always, taking suggestions!!
