This was way better than the first book in every aspect!
Not perfect but definitely a fun and engaging book, and the conclusion to the story is satisfying.
I'm glad I didn't gave up after the first book!

Complicated
I started this book in APRIL. FUCKING APRIL.
And ALL these months it felt like chore. I can not believe i kept on forcing myself to read it just for the sake of finishing it.
I do NOT care about Nasir and his depression about his father..yes, i felt bad for him in book 1 but enough is enough.
Neither do i care about Zahra, and i can not believe she became so annoying. Like i don’t even understand half of her decisions.
And i get it Nasir thinks Zahra is hot, Zahra thinks Nasir is hot. But like can they actually try to know each other instead of kissing in every two pages when they meet?
Like I'm literally not kidding. These two knows NOTHING about each other. Nothing. They just find each other hot. That's it. I used to ship them in book 1 but in this book I'm like "
