REVIEW
What I Liked:
Happy Endings does a great job of exploring what people go through to try to meet family expectations and how often they get it wrong. I love that Trixie broke the mold and found a job she was passionate about. The symbolism with Andre creating new twists on Soul Food that incorporated things he learned from Trixie's family was cute.
Fair Warning:
The entire book is very open about the topic of sex because that is Trixie's business.
Overall:
If you like the multicultural aspects of The Kiss Quotient and are pro toys in the bedroom, check out Happy Endings.
Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4/5)
