4.0
This was such a cute read. My parents are immigrants from India so books in which people are navigating life as a second-gen are always of particular interest to me.
Things I loved:
- depiction of gamer culture (even though I'm not a gamer)
- reversal of gender stereotypes with who is a gamer and who is a baker
- non-binary representation
- cis males not winning everything
- diversity
- Daniel all around
- Yasmin! aww
Things I struggled with:
- Devin. in general. mostly because I know so many Indian men like him and so many aunties and uncles like his parents. and just... ugh.
This story was super cute and I highly recommend it!
