The audiobook narratoršŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜ She really makes Nar come alive. 

Despite her flaws, or because of them, Nar was an extremely relatable character. I understand the stress she carries, not wanting her sexuality to affect how her family is perceived in a small community. She makes a lot of mistakes, but grows from them, blossoming into her true self with the help of Erebuni.

ErebunišŸ’›

Also I'm obsessed with Nar's grandmother, her Nene (unsure about spelling because of audiobook). So many strong women in this book!

I loved this a lot! Erebuni and Nareh's relationship develops beautifully and naturally, and they connect over things that are very meaningful to them. I learned a lot about Armenian culture as well.

This is a romance genre book, but it's also about Nareh's own personal journey with her culture, her career, and her relationships (both romantic and familial). It is really and truly beautifully written, and even the side characters (Vache, Nareh's mom, Diana, Nene) feel like real people. And the chemistry between Nareh and Erebuni is unbelievable, and the quiet and special moments between them are written so beautifully, and I could go on and on but I really did love this book.

I've read many romances, but this is one of my absolute favourites.

This is a beautifully written book about discovering or reclaiming your identities. In many ways, the romance is secondary to this theme of loving yourself.
Unfortunately, this is one of the many recent releases where the title is based on an insignificant, throwaway comment and makes no sense. It is, most assuredly, not about obnoxious Bay Area bros (okay, maybe one or two), so donā€™t let that turn you away.
Do check the content warnings, but donā€™t let that scare you off. Nothing is graphic.
