If you’re looking for a cute romance, this is the book to pick.
I’m absolutely in love with this story and the characters. They’re so adorable.
It is a bit insta love for me and very predictable, but I still had such a great time reading this.

did y'all think i was done? soy débil
agarrenme el cubata que tengo algo que decir. siento que los personajes eran mas planos que na mesa, ella literalmente a whinning baby mientras que toda la personalidad de él era ser un simp y hombre perfecto. si no fuera por Jordan no hubiera ocurrido nada porque ella era más parada que una farola. no es hasta el epilogo cuando de hecho DE HECHO descubres que sorprendentemente él tiene amigos. los personajes tenían muy buena quimica pero en ningun momento les vi conectar en sentido romántico, se sintió como si hubieran tenido 3 interacciones.

I loved all the tropes:
Fake dating
Enemies to lovers
Workplace romance
Neighbours
It had everything and to top it all off it was a south Asian representation. What more could I ask for?✨
However I’m taking 1/2 a star away because I feel that when it hit just over half the book (75% complete), it was dragging a little bit. The story was stuck and wasn’t progressing but I guess that is just my opinion. Also the ending made up for it so no complaints.

another great recommendation found on booktok!
i had no idea what this book was about when i picked it up, but as soon as i did, i couldn't put it down. it's one of those books that you find yourself sitting on the edge of your seat while you're reading it.
as soon as sarvenaz and jordan met in their apartment building, i knew i was in for a treat! the tension between the two main characters is second to none, it literally gave me butterflies. i love how we also get a glimpse into their cultural backgrounds (mainly sarvenaz) - it just adds so much to their characters and also gives the reader a bit of insight into their personalities.
i really encourage anyone and everyone to pick up this cute book, especially if you're in a reading slump! (it legit got me out of one!) this is a stunning debut novel, credits to the author and writing team, this is one of my new favourites!
