Graphic: Gun violence

Moderate: Toxic friendship, Hate crime, Emotional abuse, Racism, and Sexual harassment

Minor: Abandonment, Panic attacks/disorders, and Car accident

The villainisation of Naina to promote the MCs' love story took me off-guard. It's probably the only aspect of the book that I didn't enjoy. Nevertheless, this was a really relatable and heart-warming story. Yay to second chances!

Sonali Dev's writing is truly masterful. This book has made me feel and change the way I see familiar relationships and friendships and how people change over the years. Her whole series is amazing but incense and sensibility really touched me in a way I wasn't expecting at all. I really enjoyed this book and it is my first 5 stars read of 2022.
