The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
3.0
[audiobook version]
TW : homophobia, racism
3.5 I'd say. A light little lesbian, adolescent romance which I appreciated because of the bengali and brasilian representations which I haven't often seen in novels. There are some good ideas here, but I would've liked for them to be further discussed. The subject of cultural appropriation, particularly, is very interesting and it would have deserved a deeper and more thought conversation and or reflexion. Overall a pleasant experience but not much more than that.
