Lifted With Love
The Crum University Series
By Aricka Alexander
Love can be hard, but it’s always worth the weight...
From best friends to strangers to reconnecting again after over half a decade at Crum University for graduate school, follow Maxine “Max” Cambridge and Regina “Reggie” Stanley in this beautiful second-chance novella. It’s a story full of healing, love, acceptance, and a true testament to the sentiment of “if you’re meant to be, you will always find your way back to one another.” It’s sweet, it’s heartwarming, and even a bit spicy.
(Crum University is a fictional HBCU set in North Carolina, and the central setting for the novella series of the same name featuring beautiful Black love, sports, and lots of university shenanigans.)
