It was nice. I have no particularly strong feelings about this book. Although I did love that she was Palestinian and her cultures food was involved in this book. I found this book to be very tropey? And surmise that I would’ve enjoyed it more in the physical form rather than the audio. I found myself cringing every time the narrators read the spicy scenes which is not usually what one is looking for at those times. Overall it was fine but I think there are others who would enjoy it more than I.

Cute, but has way too much repetition and limited romantic development. It felt like one moment they hated each other and the next they were in love, which didn't feel super realistic. The twist was pretty good, though.
