oof. this book has a white savior love interest, cringe dialogue, no chemistry, villainization of religion, and an incomplete/unsatisfying ending. but hey, at least the anxiety rep is good.

This book was cute. I liked the cultural diversity of the characters and the anxiety awareness. As an immigrant kid with anxiety, I understand how hard it is to set boundaries with parents, and this book showcased that wonderfully. It wasn’t life-changing, but I’m glad I read it.
