I'm a little late to the party, but I finished this wonderful book by @tiawilliams.bsky.social last night. It's a beautiful love story and a beautiful love letter to Harlem.

Yes! According to my uncle—I'd never seen it before. I was extra excited because I just read a book in which it features prominently (A Love Song for Ricki Wilde by @tiawilliams.bsky.social ).
