Overall, this was cute and light-hearted. Did enjoy it being relatively fast-based. Would have liked a little more conflict and resolution. Felt like everything just worked out, in the end. Which I liked, but would’ve liked to earn that a little more.

The dialogue was awkward. On the one hand, the characters are teens. They definitely behave like high achieving seniors in high school that are unpacking the biggest lessons they’ve learned so far. 

But. I am so far removed from that time in my life that I couldn’t stick it out. I was also not keen on the romantic imaginations of teens when I was a teen. It felt trapping. So this DNF is probably more personal. Lol

 I'm craving Butter chicken so bad right now 😭 there are recipes all throughout the book which was such a great touch!

such a sweet book, its very wholesome. I enjoyed the romance a lot I think Radha & Jai were very adorable together even if they both need to work on their communication skills lol

I really loved how anxiety and panic attacks were described and handled in the book!

The audiobook narrators were both great I loved the dual POV a lot.

I will say there's a few triggers to be aware of stroke, mental health (anxiety and panic attacks), maternal emotional manipulation (gaslighting)

overall a really good YA romance!
