Thanks to St. Martin's Press for the free copy of this book.

 - It’s hard to even find the words to talk about WHENEVER YOU’RE READY. Yes, it’s a romance novel, but it’s also about grief, friendship, love, platonic love, sibling love, Blackness, Jewishness, queerness, and so much more.
- Nia, Jade, and Jonah are all fully formed characters, filled with flaws and bursting with emotion.
- I particularly loved that so much of this book was about how non-s3xual love can be just as all encompassing and as important as the traditional romantic partner relationships we place above all else.
- I’m not qualified to speak on the Black and Jewish representation, but I did appreciate how Katz did not shy away from the hard truths and emotions of what it means to consider the history of being both those things with roots in the American South.
