When you constantly challenge the norm of your community, you're often going to get stares and remarks flung to your back. It's the attempt of escaping this, that sends Sarvenaz Naz Singh from Vancouver to New York.
In a desperate to prove to her family and her self, Naz ends up taking the first thing that lands in her lap, which ultimately falls through. On a prayer, she gets a better and more solid footing, if only it didn't have to involve the very neighbor she yelled at, her first night in New York.
Jordan Evans has his life planned and sorted. Making as the youngest CFO of Spectrum, living in a spare of his own, and loving his family in his spare time. It's only when a petit Indian woman is banging on his door at 3am that his life takes a sudden turn. Suddenly his work life, home life, and spare time are revolving around keeping Naz at his side.
The growth of Naz coming to trust herself and this relationship that she gets thrust into are key to showing how she breaks her own molds. The secure sense of self that rounds out the story between Naz and Jordan is as adorable as it is heartwarming.

I like the woc in STEM representation. The book was relaxing though I found it a little boring and basic at times.
Nevertheless, I will support the author's future works.

I did not enjoy being inside the FMC's head. I thought she was willfully obstinate and immature and I just couldn't get myself to root for a relationship between her and the MMC.

When i first started this book,I wasn't too sure where this was headed, it was super mysterious and quite frankly I was a bit confused. But this changed so quickly, and I couldn't believe that I almost put this book down.
Naz' character is amazing, learning to be independent, repairing her relationships and trying to overcome multiple hardships, she is a force to be reckoned with! But when Jordan entered the picture, I honestly could not keep up. The story moves quickly and their relationship unravels as they struggle to keep their feelings at bay. The only element that I didn't particularly enjoy was Naz' reasoning around the fact that Jordan did not disclose a certain aspect of his life which led to her reluctance to dive into a relationship.
But in addition to the story, the romance, the tension and angst is the way in which the author touches on mental health representation and the difference between cultures for this biracial couple! I truly could not put this book down!
