Trisha is balancing a lot of responsibility between school, work, and helping her mother take care of her foster siblings, but she makes time for Alexis and both are better for it. I particularly appreciated that she is in control of her mental health recovery, and knows what she needs to do to keep herself in a good place, even as she continues to try to meet her family’s expectations. The CharactersĪlexis is only 18 and is trying to balance her new life at university with her parents’ worry and disappointment following her difficulties the year before. Trisha remembers Alexis very well, and as they strike up a friendship, finds herself more attracted to the sweet, shy baby butch all the time. Except Treasure is Trisha Hamilton, who has finally pulled together the necessary credits to transfer to a four-year university. When Alexis walks into her computer science class a few weeks later, she’s surprised to see Treasure already sitting at a table. She’s uncomfortably aware that she’s the only lesbian of the group, and it’s all she can do to keep it together when one of her sister’s friends buys her a private dance with Treasure in a VIP room. I remember getting excited when she talked on Twitter about writing a stripper romance featuring two black girls, and this didn’t disappoint.Īlexis Chambers is at a strip club for her sister’s bachelorette party when she sees Treasure and can’t keep her eyes off her. Treasure by Rebekah Weatherspoon is a beautiful new adult romance novella that has a compelling, relatable rich girl/poor girl story.
