"Set in the US, this oh-so bold and beautiful novel brilliantly covers issues from racism to sexism as well as an enemies to lovers romance."
This absolutely gorgeous romance with dynamic attitude covers a number of different social issues around discrimination and equality, in particular racism and tokenism, and so has the perfect title. Kennedy Mitchell set up her own company with her best friend after being used by a company as a token representation in the board room. As she helps companies and celebrities realise their failings with diversity, she struggles with the return of her best friends brother from France. Author Beverley Kendall balances themes with a thoughtful yet bold hand, and I loved her main character Kennedy who is emotionally astute and full of empathy while holding a fierce inner strength. No one is perfect in this world, which ensures the cast feel authentic and allowed me to connect with them. While at its heart a really lovely and sexy romance peppered with whip-smart smart humour, Token tackles some weighty topics. None of subjects feel separate, each blends and feeds and links into a story full of emotion and so I’ve chosen this novel as a Liz Pick of the Month. Discerning and insightful, Token delivers a deliciously daring and sexy romance with confidence.
