This is a very cute book and my only complaints are that there isn't enough...desiness to Dev's character. He feels a bit generic gay man rather than a desi gay man. 

It just feels like the author meant well but did not quote have someone who could speak to the specific and terrifying conflagration of queer desi existence.

I fucking loved this book it’s so cute and made my stomach felt like a thousand balloons were being released (:P). The characters were lovable the writing style kept me rooting for them and the plot was obviously cute I love Charlie and devs growth and fucking finally that b1tch Maureen got kicked I was sick of her from the beginning. ok that’s all

really loved this until the last 40 pages

This was cute. The writing at times was a little clunky and awkward but it was a fast read.

i really love charlie but overall it was just alright. i can fix it
