Thank you @tlcbooktours and @avonbooks for this gifted copy.

I have been on a romcom kick all summer while reading poolside, and 𝗢𝗻 𝗥𝗼𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 looks like a fun summer romance to add to my pool bag!

Ghanaian-American Angela Appiah has checked off all the boxes for the “Perfect Immigrant Daughter.”

• Enroll in an elite medical school

• Snag a suitable lawyer/doctor/engineer boyfriend

• Surround self with a gaggle of successful and/or loyal friends

But then it quickly all falls apart: her boyfriend dumps her, she bombs the most important exam of her medical career, and her best friend pulls away. And her parents, whose approval seems to hinge on how closely she follows the path they chose, are a lot less proud of their daughter. It’s a quarter life crisis of epic proportions.

Angie, who has always faced her problems by working “twice as hard to get half as far,” is at a loss. Suddenly, she begins to question everything: her career choice, her friendships, even why she's attracted to men who don't love her as much as she loves them.

And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, enter Ricky Gutierrez—brilliant, thoughtful, sexy, and most importantly, seems to see Angie for who she is instead of what she can represent.

Unfortunately, he’s also got “wasteman” practically tattooed across his forehead, and Angie’s done chasing mirages of men. Or so she thinks. For someone who’s always been in control, Angie realizes that there’s one thing she can’t plan on: matters of her heart.
