Ruth & Boaz: The Live Story We’ve Been Waiting For

✨ Netflix dropped Ruth & Boaz and I had to sit down and write about it. This film felt like a Black Hallmark movie simple, sweet, faith filled, and exactly the kind of love story we’ve been waiting for.

In my review I kept it mostly spoiler free, but I had plenty to say about Serayah McNeill, Tyler Lepley, Felicia Rashad, and those surprise musical cameos 👀

Tap the link in my bio or head to candichronicles.com to read the full review. Trust me, if you’ve been craving a hopeful, feel good love story this is it.
