A review by kharlan3
The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar

(f/f, YA, romance). Rivals to lovers! I think that this has a great conversation for younger readers about cultural appropriation. I generally loved the sister relationship. I didn't love Flávia/the love story. The one thing that super bothered/distracted me was that it felt like Ireland was just a setting. The narrator didn't use any Irish accents for any of the characters, and multiple times "dollars" and, I believe "miles" were mentioned as well. Pulled me out of the Irish setting.
