I'm an aspiring writer and I was wondering if you guys think people would read a story with this premise? Please, please, PLEASE, give me honest feedback. Pros and cons, likes and dislikes.

Sounds good! It'd be easy to see you could really generate a great deal of conflict. But maybe you could take a comedic approach to it (perhaps like "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" though that was 1967) rather than a serious drama.
Another possibility might be to work it into a mystery story. For reference, check out "A Right to Die" by Rex Stout (one of his many Nero Wolfe novels!) and see how he tackles the issue of an interracial romance:

But the exact genre of it is, of course, ultimately up to you.
Best of luck to you! :)

OK, we know the gimmick, but what is the PLOT? You haven't even stated enough to know what the book is about in order to answer the question.
The romance market is huge and thriving. So the issue isn't whether or not people will read it. The issue is whether or not you can tell an original story in a manner someone would want to read. Your idea, as it is, is mundane. Ideas are a dime a dozen (less with inflation.) A book's value rests in the PRESENTATION of the ideas.
So the issue is whether or not you can craft an interesting story with this theme, not the theme itself.
