What a soft, sweet, contemporary queer read! This book while definitely being about a really sweet first love, rivals to lovers to be exact, and between a Bengali Muslim girl and a Black & Portuguese girl living in Ireland, it also hit hard at topics like bullying, coming out, racism, and cultural appropriation.
