this one was sweet. i love the diversity which can also be found within the mc’s experiences but i’m a bit underwhelmed. 
i feel like the book could’ve used more sapphic elements, especially about how hani and ishu feel about each other romantically. a lot happened in so little time and i guess i can’t quite grasp why they fell for each other.
i love the very different family dynamics a lot. hani’s parents were both understanding and sweet and i appreciate their relationship with each other. ishu and nik’s story was very well written
and i’m glad nik turned out to be supportive and the big sister ishu needed.
i appreciate the writing. it was an easy read with strong characters and i enjoyed learning more about bengali culture
