A Code for Love by Bal Khabra
4.0
This was a really cute book, Bal did a good job with her debut novel.
A code for love is about Sarvenaz who leaves her parents in Canada and moves to New York to start a new job and get away from her past. At her new apartment in new york, she meets a man in grey sweats who she dislikes at first but ends up working for grey sweats aka Jordan.
Some things i liked about this book was the representation, I felt seen by the depiction of immigrant parents and culture. I also liked how normal the romance build-up was, it wasn't anything crazy but just a sweet and simple romance story.
Some other thoughts I had when reading this was how low-stakes the issues in the book were, I didn't think that there were any serious conflicts and even how Jordan and Naz got together was kinda anti-climatic. I still really like them, at first I also didnt think the book was that spicy but when I got to a particular chapter I realized that i was wrong lol.
Overall a nice easy read, read this if you like
