This was a really good book. I just really struggled to get through. That could have been more about me than the actual book, but there wasn't really anything to draw me in. Hani's friends absolutely sucked and I was so glad when she dumped them!

This was a cute little sapphic romance that was quick and entertaining.
I loved the representation of Desi parents, the way they talked, the expectations they hold, it was so real.
The biphobia too, 'just pick a side' attitude that some people have, that too, felt very real.
The characters were brought out really well for their school setting.
But like every YA book, I felt like the problems just get solved too easily and everything's tied up neatly with a bow. How Hani's dad just listened to her and admitted all his wrong doings. How Aisling decides to apologise to Hani.
Overall it's okay, I suppose. I was willing to overlook it because it's a wholesome story.
