• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

I found the last 25% really great, and I think someone who reads and enjoys YA contemporaries more than me would love this book overall. Personally, I felt like the plot moved slowly in the first half for having so much going on, and I found the main character frustrating in how she kind of creates a lot of her own problems.

Despite that, the writing was upbeat and fun, the muay thai was really cool, and I really loved all of the cultural aspects the author brought in about the main characters experience being Indian.
