I didn't really feel the spark between Kamila and Rohan and had no real desire to see them together. Kamila was also a bit unlikable at times, but I don't think that was problematic (nor do I think FL should be likable all the time, no one is IRL).
Normally I am all about the side characters but I thought this one got a bit muddied by having too many. I think a smaller focus would have been stronger.
I did enjoy the prose of the book. The dialogue could have used a little tweaking to feel a bit more natural, but the words had a flow to them.
Overall, I really just wanted something _more_ from this book and I don't know what that is exactly. It just lacked a certain sparkle.
Moderate: Mental illness, Panic attacks/disorders, and Medical content
Minor: Sexual content, Death of parent, Toxic friendship, and Sexual harassment

If you're into any, or all of the following:
- Bollywood mentions/flailing
- (best) friends to lovers romance with mutual pining!!!!
- Brown women solidarity
- puppies and finance talk (not me but I still liked the book)
- LGBTQ+ representation
