But, before she can get settled into her new home, she finds herself being violently pulled back and forth in time to a nineteenth-century plantation with which she and her family are most surprisingly and intimately linked. What We Know So Far: The show follows Dana, a young Black woman and aspiring writer who has uprooted her life of familial obligation and relocated to Los Angeles, ready to claim a future that - for once - feels all her own. The Fanbase: People who appreciate how different genres can be used to discuss historical fiction, à la shows like Amazon’s Them or HBO’s Watchmen. I remember it being mentioned in other books that he was from the south, but the whole "darlin'" thing really got to me.Based On: Octavia E. So, big respect to Elle Kennedy for not glamorizing motherhood, like a lot of these books do. I was in high school when I had my twins, and I tried to continue part time, but as the girls got older I just couldn't do it. I have three children, and was a student when my youngest was born (and somewhat when my twins were babies), and it's almost impossible to study, do assignments, and care for a human being. Add being a student in a competitive program, and trying to get a business built, it's brutal. Loving your child with all your heart - but it's not all bliss and sweet baby cuddles. One of the things I appreciated, was how realistic Elle Kennedy wrote about motherhood. The chemistry between Tucker and Sabrina is great, and while the banter is no where near as awesome as the other books, it's clear they respect one another a lot. It's not an original concept, but it didn't make it less likeable for me. But I loved the other books, so I felt like if anyone can get me to like these characters, its Elle Kennedy. And every interaction with Sabrina in The Score places her in bitch category. Tucker in the other books is quiet and laid back, so I didn't feel as connected to this character as I did the others. I was a little worried going into this book.
