One True Loves

By: Elise Bryant

Narrated by: Joniece Abbott-Pratt

From the author of Happily Ever Afters comes another irresistible YA romantic comedy full of self-discovery and Black love—and a dreamy European cruise. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han, with crossover appeal for readers of Jasmine Guillory and Talia Hibbert romances.

Lenore Bennett has always been a force. A star artist and style icon at her high school, she’s a master in the subtle art of not giving a . . . well, you know what. But now that graduation is here, she’s a little less sure.

She’s heading to NYU in the fall with a scarlet U (for “undeclared”) written across her chest. Her parents always remind her that Black kids don’t have the luxury of figuring it out as they go—they have to be 110 percent prepared. But it’s a lot of pressure to be her ancestors’ wildest dreams when Lenore’s not even sure what her dreams are yet.

When her family embarks on a post-graduation Mediterranean cruise, her friend Tessa is sure Lenore’s in for a whirlwind romance. But Lenore knows that doesn’t happen to girls like her.

Then she meets Alex Lee. After their parents bond over the Cupid Shuffle, she ends up stuck with him for the remainder of the cruise. He’s a hopeless romantic and a golden boy with a ten-year plan. In short, he’s irritating as hell.

But as they get to know each other during the picturesque stops across Europe, Alex may be able to help Lenore find something else she’s been looking for, even if she doesn’t want to admit it to herself: love.

Love!!

This book made me believe in love again ! Beautiful story ! I’m a fan of Elise Bryant now!

So cute!!!!!!!

This is a great clean, love story for the ones who don’t like all that too much mushy stuff but I thought it was the cutest love story ever! Sometimes you get love stories that tell too much details of physical intimacy versus an actual day-to-day actions without all the mushy stuff. so I love it granite yeah it would be considered like a young adult or teen book but as an older adult, I enjoyed it.

Didn't like it that much

Well, I didn't know what I was expecting but I expected something better than this ..
This is the second book to Happily Ever Afters and here we will follow Lenore, who is struggling to know her true passion and what is she planning to do for the rest of her life, so her parents pressure her to choose a major before the end of their vacation which they will spend on a cruise, no internet and going to different countries in Europe.. on the ship she will meet Alex who is the complete opposite of her, at first he gives the wrong impression to Lenore but later on he shows her that they can be friends and even more and he will help her clam herself down
I really didn't like Lenore, she is whiney, spoiled and really over dramatic with everything, she jumps to conclusions and talks like the world has done her wrong .. I felt the story dragged a lot and there was barely anything happening outside Lenore's bubble except that thing with her brother .. but overall I didn't enjoy it

the narrator was really nice and I liked her performance a lot .. great choice
