Solid 4. I enjoyed it very much overall, specially learning more about Bengali culture and the relationships between the two MCs and their families. It was also very sweet!

But are we not going to talk about
how the fuck someone accidentally shares a Google doc??? She could just remove her sister's access or something?? I really wish that was explained better because it had my brain so confused, like I had missed something.


Also, I wish Hani's two friends had some redeeming qualities, or we saw her having fun with them, because it was really hard to understand why she would still be close with them when they were SUCH massive c-words. 

Again, otherwise I really enjoyed this book! Hell yes to bi-rep and esp for queer Bengali and/or Muslim teens 💖
