While I appreciate Hallmark's increasing initiative to feature more diverse leads, this didn't land for me at all. As a Black person, I feel as though they just slapped together an all-Black cast and called it a day, but they forgot to add substance to the story.
I honestly didn't understand why Fletcher was a bad choice for Mona...she had more chemistry with him than with Dez. And even then, there was absolutely no development between her and Dez in the romance department. It felt like nothing really happened, and then bam, by the end we're supposed to believe that they'd fallen in love? Even by Hallmark standards, it was rough.
It overall fell super flat and unfortunately nothing else that happened compelled me to enjoy this film otherwise. Disappointed!
