cool concept but poorly written. the characters are one dimensional and hard to connect with. the central romance doesn’t make much sense to me and isn’t resolved very well

This book is so much more than a romance. It covers such a wide variety of topics that I have never seen in a book before, from religious guilt to struggling with post grad life to the inside of a broken marriage but divorce not being on the table. I loved that despite the cultures represented in the book not being my own (this is an own voices book) I was still able to deeply relate to the characters and their struggles. The authors voice is unique and refreshing and authentic and profound in a unpretentious way.
