A review by lynseyreads_
Sorry, Bro by Taleen Voskuni
2.0
I enjoyed this more than a “3” implies, but can’t quite rate it a 4. Still wishing Goodreads had .25/.5/.75 rating options.
Love learning more about Armenian culture, and appreciate the more serious topics this book weaves in (Armenian genocide history, sexism, homophobia, alcoholism). Also appreciate the bi, f/f rep, and the push and pull the MC, Nareh, feels between having to please her family and being true to herself.
I do think this book could have leaned in even more to the COM of rom-com, and some plot changes could have been wise for this (the ending, in particular, is more “Full House” feeling than rom-com). It also read a little YA for me, but the characters are in their late 20s/30s.
However, overall I enjoyed it (especially the audiobook voices!), and would read more from this author.
