Mary McCoy’s Indestructible Object is an enthralling love story that illustrates how artwork and love are one and the same. This book did not fail to grab the reader's interest with its lovable plot. With many twists and turns this book will leave you wanting more.

Lee and Vincent are both “artists in love” who ran a podcast under that name. When Vincent gets accepted into Howard University and has to move to Washington D.C, he has to make the hard decision to break up with his true love. This leaves Lee in shambles but she can't help but be happy for him. As time goes on her best friends Max and Risa are by her side. Lee is told that her dad may not actually be her biological father, so her best friend Max suggests a podcast to document their time trying to find out the truth. Will Lee and Vincent ever get back together? Is Lee going to solve the mystery of her parents?

I thought the plot of this book was amazing. I really enjoyed the layout that McCoy made to differentiate the podcast recording from the normal perspective. There were a few cheesy lines, but what's a good love story without them? This story has many diverse characters and a great representation of the LGBTQ+ community. I think that is very important to have and made this book much more realistic and interesting.

I enjoyed this book a lot and recommend it to someone who is also into romance novels. I really liked the author's writing style and how she developed the characters. The characters in this book reminded me a lot of my own friends and family which was nice. I would definitely recommend this book!
