ya know what? 5 stars. this book fits perfectly into the niche it’s going for. it has realistic feelings and reactions and troubles. i can’t speak for the specific cultural pressures the characters went through, but as far as i could tell, they seemed really realistic too. i could actually feel my heart breaking for the people who unfortunately go through these consequences of being first generation citizens. the idea of your parents abandoning you because you don’t meet the hopes they had for you (hopes that definitely started as love) is just so saddening :(

anyway, i think this is definitely a book worth reading. it’s a overdone trope that is pulled off very well :)

it was so good!!! this is definitely one of the best lgbtq books ive picked up in a while, and im so glad that i did. all of the book is so drawing and makes you feel like you know these characters on the most personal level. im definitely recommending this book to all of my friends.

a cute sapphic romance with good bit of typical romance tropes.. which is exactly what i wanted so!! not many complaints on that front besides i wish their first kiss felt more romantic/well written instead of feeling so forced and focused on making this ‘romcom’ type moment

anyways! i <3 heart ishu so bad.. like that’s my new fictional gf guys
