What an amazing enemies/hate to lovers book. I loved everything from the "meet cute" to the HEA.

This book has some pretty strong triggers so check into those before you read, but I thought they were ha fled well and in a way that gives representation. I truly admired how strong Liya was. I loved her core group of friends.

Jay was absolutely amazing. I felt like his character had so much depth because he was just himself. True to himself in the good and bad. I appreciated how vulnerable he was at times. I also loved how he stood up for Liya multiple times and in multiple ways. 

Own voices books are truly my favorite because the author's culture shines through. I love the glimpses into family life, food, weddings, and relationships. I love how this book included traditional culture but also a more modern view on committed relationship.

CW: mentions of sexual assault
3.5 stars. I like liya a ton as a protagonist but the overall love story was just... meh. Jay was a good love interest but the chemistry wasn't the best. A nice easy romance read though.

As a Texan Indian, there were parts of this book I could relate to. However, I went in thinking it'd be a lot more relatable than it was, but maybe it's because of a difference of community. I found most of the characters really annoying, and the book didn't feel well tied up at the end. There were questions/issues left unanswered/unsolved, in my opinion. That being said, parts were super enjoyable and indulgent and there were some really great and swoon-worthy moments. The male lead is lowkey my dream man.
