Simon & Schuster is celebrating Black Love Summer and we are excited to bring you stories that feature Black Love at it’s best—dreamy, angsty, and real. It was important for us to show a full scope of love that isn't soley centered on trauma, but gives a relatable view on young and adult Black love. These three novels showcase Black love in ALL it’s glory! They show that this love can be light, fun, pure, and joyful, while also giving a realistic side of what it takes to fight for and maintain that love. We hope you enjoy these exciting and gorgeous reads as you soak up some sun this summer.
