this book was SO GOOD !!! i loved hani and ishu, and all the representation in this book, i wish it was longer and that’s about the only bad thing about this book that doesn’t fully make it a five star read for me!
the way racism was tackled in this book was something that really showed me how much things that seems so small to a white person can be so demeaning for a POC, and how easy it is to “get used” to racism or not even notice it because it happens so much, and it’s not okay. i also loved how the author portrayed the way homophobia and racism go hand and hand and how it was done so well by showing the reader that one isn’t worse than the other and how it’s not a winning or losing battle when everyone’s getting hurt.
the characters, the lessons, the love in this book is truly amazing and i would recommend it to anyone because this book is such a good book for all kinds of people!!

adiba jaigirdar is absolutely one of the best contemporary ya authors out there, the amount of love and care she manages to weave into her stories hits me right in the heart every damn time
just a really lovely story that also explored important issues and navigating different things as a teenager

This was a cute fake dating story! I loved the cultural representation and the two characters. Sometimes the characters felt a bit middle grade even though they were supposed to be 17 so that annoyed me a bit at times.

War sehr nice mal Charaktere zu haben über die man nicht immer liest und so auch viel über die Bengali Kultur zu lernen. Beide Charaktere hatten Tiefe und waren komplex und haben sich realistisch angefühlt, was bei romance oft nicht unbedingt der Fall ist. Hätte mir nur ein paar mehr cute romance Momente gewünscht. Es ging dann am Ende alles sehr schnell vorbei.
