Very fun and adorable! Loved the character development. The characters all had flaws, especially Nishat, but they were called out and dealt with. Wish it described more than specifically told things, but the rest of the book made up for these moments. Loved the exploration between Nishat and Priti, and just thought it was a very enjoyable book. Love some sapphic fiction wherever it presents itself.
