Lowcounty Bride
Disclaimer: I received an advance copy from Avon/HarperCollins and Netgalley. Opinions are my own. Slight TWs: racism/microaggressions, chronic illness, mentions of passing of a loved one due to illness and tragedy, mentions of a mass murder Summary: Maya Jackson is working in New York City as a bridal designer, hoping to get a promotion as the top designer at the brand she works for. When her father suddenly falls ill, she heads back to her hometown of Charleston, SC to care for him. While back home, she gets an opportunity to work at a bridal shop, owned by veteran/widower/father Derek. He is trying to save the shop he inherited from his mother. Review: Book based in Charleston. Check. Book that the main character has the same name as you. Check. Awesome cover of a Black bride with St. Michael's Church and Rainbow Row in the background. And a cobblestone road! Check. Actual locations and streets that are in Charleston featured in the book. Check. And a great (and clean) roman
