i wish this book was a more enjoyable reading experience but the characters were so unlikeable for 75% of the book. i did enjoy priti as a character and her relationship with nishat. i felt like this book could have gone deeper into the resolution of some of the serious issues (namely racism, homophobia, cultural appropriation). i do love the representation of bengali culture and i feel like i learned a lot. i would give this authors other books a chance.
