[audiobook version]
TW : homophobia, racism
3.5 I'd say. A light little lesbian, adolescent romance which I appreciated because of the bengali and brasilian representations which I haven't often seen in novels. There are some good ideas here, but I would've liked for them to be further discussed. The subject of cultural appropriation, particularly, is very interesting and it would have deserved a deeper and more thought conversation and or reflexion. Overall a pleasant experience but not much more than that.

Cute YA queer romance, which I was in the mood for. The actual relationship that is the focus of said romance is kinda meh and the story feels rushed but, again, it was cute and featured diverse characters.

strong 4.5 again. this book was just an overload of emotions mainly because i related to so many elements and it was just a lot to take in but i enjoyed it a lot and i kinda wish my life too, would have a happy ending like the one that nishat got with her life, especially family and definitely with flavia :’)
