not only was this one of the cutest things I've ever read filled with an endearing romance brimming with optimism and hope that had me feeling all the feels. Hani and Ishu couldn't be more different yet, there's a kind of push-and-pull dynamic between them that's thoroughly enjoyable. The girls are wholly unique with their own distinct voice, flaws and motivations. 

A thoughtful own-voices story that is dynamic and joyous. Embracing every aspect of both the Irish and Bengali cultures and weaves a confidently complex narrative that treats both with respect.
 
Razor sharp, taking a sledgehammer to archetypes and stereotypes with it's messages of hope that cannot be overlooked.

 <also I hated Hani's fake-ass friends<
