i liked the book as it dealt with a couple complicated arcs that did a good job on pacing but the fall down isn't a traditional romance, there were a lot of things pinned on personality rather than circumstances for communication that led to all the misunderstandings. 
The twist came at the very end, which I think be better at start of the book and kinda sad that the librarian who started the reason for the book didn't come up more, no flashbacks, no how she was in community, even adorable cat sorta got dropped. Also a lot of side character plot lines dropped to one side. 
was getting a civics lesson , never been so motivated to go to more local meetings to

Said sister was dead wrong 😑. Story of miscommunication 

this was cute and I of course love that a cat and misfortune brought two people back together to finally start the love story that could have been all along

DID NOT FINISH: 35%

Well, the story itself wasnt depressing but the character of Tiwa was. A self righteous, anti social, ego maniac, she just complained the entire time about what i didnt consider anything that deep to complain about. I started this as a book but switched to the audio and i must admit, the narrator didnt help matters with her making Tiwa sound disinterested, droll and basically a bit of a bitch. It wasnt a pleasure to listen to and made me not want to continue.

Textually it was just really repetitive with the words Islamic centre and Eid said about 50 million times in one sentence alone. We know how much the centre means to you, we know you want to save Eid, we know you dont like Said at the moment. Why have you repeated this so many times in every chapter. Very very annoying.
