This was an okay Emma retelling. The FMC was a little annoying in that she would have these spirals of thinking a random guess of hers is true (based on a tiny scrap of evidence) and then freaking out about what that would mean. The MMC wasn't super fleshed out as a person.

🎧 Single POV (FMC's), one narrator.

🌶️ 2/5 there are two sexy scenes but the details are really heavily glossed over.

🏳️‍🌈✊ The MCs and their families are Desi. FMC's best friend is queer, as are a couple people from her larger friend group.
