4.0

A sweet romance novel centered around learning to embrace ethnic and sexual identities in your late 20s for anyone who’s ever felt like they’re hitting life’s milestones behind everybody else. I really enjoyed the thorough introduction to Armenian culture through the eyes of Nareh, who begins to joyfully and deeply connect with her family’s history for the first time in her adult life. Though this novel doesn’t shy away from some darker themes such as death of a parent and workplace sexism, it manages to gracefully maintain the romance genre’s backbone that ‘all will be well in the end.’

rep: armenian fmc, story focusing on armenian identity & most major characters are armenian, bi fmc, bi li, wlw main relationship

medium-paced

4.0

The first 3/4 of this book was a swoon-worthy romance and then two major things happened that threw me for a loop. I think since it was advertised as a rom-com I would be prepared for maybe one of these things to happen but not both since rom-coms imply more light hearted fare.

The emotional core of this book is solid. The plot, at times, was a little all over the place. The writing was a bit too casual/informal for my liking, and unfortunately did distract me from the story itself a few times. But it's still worth reading. I will be curious to read more from this author.
