This was super cute and sweet! A high school besties that made a pact for forever! Bilal had a glow up and siren his decade away becoming all the man he felt Noora deserved him to be. I loved how he knew Noora so well that he allowed her to be herself and “run” from every uncomfortable situation, believing that she was escaping the gear, yet, not realizing he was always willing to jump into the fire for her. I loved them down!

This book has me in tears laughing for majority of it. I just need a day with the Goldmouth twins. Zafar shocked me and his character transformed into something I didn’t expect! He was arguably worse than the twins in the best way! To go from the brink of DNF to a five star read for me is insane but I loved this book down! Zafar’s proclivity for plastic bags has to be my favorite thing of 2024!
