This was almost painful to get through and mentally draining. The plot felt very predictable and characters fell extremely flat. The only redeeming quality about this book is the audible narrator :(

I absolutely loved this book. I’m usually not one for slow burn, but this was definitely an acceptation. The tension between Tobin and Lily was perfect and worked out well in the later stages in the book. Appreciated the happy ending :)

LOVED the sister relationship between Nishat and Priti. This book beautifully weaved to intricate complexity’s of being queer and POC in one. So so happy it ended on a happy note, this romance definitely warmed my heart <3

I definitely liked this book but couldn’t fall in love with it like Yoon’s previous books. I expected dancing to play a bigger role in the romance story of X and Evie overall. Surprisingly i found Evie to be an unlikeable MC for me personally.
