I adore these two. I read the ebook earlier in January and I highly recommend the audiobook too. Great narrators. You'll adore Tanika and Gideon.

4.5 stars—Who knew glasses could be the real MVP? Tanika fumbles her job, crashes her car, and somehow ends up with a pair of magic specs—and a fine widowed optometrist to go with them. Between the steamy romance, hilarious chaos, and her ride-or-die girl gang, this book proves life (and love) only get better after 40.

Thank you to Generous Press, Row House by Spotify Audiobooks, and Tati Richardson for allowing me to have a ALC of this book.
I absolutely loved the story of Tanika and Gideon! It was so well developed on both ends of the characters. The book had just the right amount of spice that kept up with the plot. I would say this is a semi-slow burn but it keeps you engaged from beginning to end with all of the dynamics and changes in setting for the FMC Tanika.
I loved how Tanika and Gideon's plot lines collided all because Tanika was aging and needed glasses.; and who better give them to her than a fine a** optometrist. The progression of their relationship seemed very real and relatable which I enjoyed reading. But Tanika definitely had other prospects which kept the story interesting and helped her realize "she still got it".
I love the "3rd act" plot twist which really wasn't a twist that lead to spice hahah it was really good.
Overall, this is a well rounded story and I enjoyed every minute of reading it! The narration was perfect and elevated the plot. I would 100% recommend this Losing Sight!
PS: Bronwyn and Jackie are such good friends! They were so different but so alike in their love and support of Tanika. I loved that aspect of the story too. We love to see solid friendships in real life and it was nice to have it on the page!

This was a fun romcom featuring a 40 year old Black woman who is feeling her age as one of the older women sports reporters in the business. It doesn't help that her eyesight has been declining drastically and she's put off doing anything about it for years! Cue, the hot widowed, optometrist she meets/is set up with and their hot affair. Steamy and heartfelt with relatable mid-life main characters, this was good on audio and perfect for fans of books like Black girls must die exhausted by Jayne Allen. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an early audio copy in exchange for my honest review!
