Cute fun read. Love the Bangladeshi / south Asian in general representation since that’s not something common in romance books, let alone YA and sapphic ones.
I loved how both narrators spoke Bengali, even though it all went over my head. It just sounds nice to listen to. It really adds depth to Hani and Ishu’s identities, as well as their parents’ especially by being immigrants.
