This book was a whirlwind! I loved it! This book had me laughing so hard that I started crying, especially the first 15% of the book. While this book is just one miscommunication after another, which is something I usually don’t like, it felt endearing to watch Sharlot and George fall for each other despite thinking they didn’t like each other because they’re parents are kind of awful! I loved how much their thoughts mirrored each other in trying to hide the deception. I really feel like they were made for each other!
I thought the inclusion of Indonesian culture was really cool to learn about. I also thought the representation of the limited rights and stigmas that women and members of the LGBTQ+ community deal with in the story gave way for some great discussions throughout the book.
I’m also loved learning about Eleanor (Roosevelt) and Kiki and I’m definitely looking forward to Kiki’s book!
Thank you so much to NetGalley, Delacorte Press, and Jesse Q. Sutanto for providing me access to this book.
