Adorable and heartfelt sapphic YA romance, which addresses homophobia in two very different communities, as well as issues of racism and cultural appropriation. Adiba Jaigirdar is a must-read author for me.

Pretty enjoyable overall! Nishat and Flávia are very very cute. Nishat is a great MC even though

she seems to really take her supposed best friends for granted? What’s up with that😭 other than towards the very end does it seem like this girl care about her friends among the other people in her life which I thought it was wild even with everything she was going through.

. Still I love the Bengali + Brazilian rep in this book and the very much real disappointment that comes when ppl aren’t initially accepting of who you are (and how they might surprise you with love later on💙)
