The audiobook narrator😍😍😍 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.

Erebuni💛

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

Despite the characters being 27 and 31 (if I'm remembering correctly), there are no sex scenes, just mentions of them occuring. This isn't a steamy read because the focus is on Nar's journey to loving and accepting all parts of her identity.

I love Erebuni and all the descriptions about the Armenian culture. The food sounds incredible and I can't wait to try it someday. Nareh, on the other hand, was immature and selfish to the point where she was very unlikable. She kept making decisions without any regard for how it would affect other people. She kept things from Erebuni and lied to her mom making Erebuni seem like a predator which was super gross. Her apology left a lot to be desired and the fact that she was trying to go back and marry Trevor even though she knew she didn't love him like that. Whaaat? Why would you do that to him?

The love interest deserves something more then this shipwreck of a person. She'd be more loved and respected by a pair of crocs, because at least they would not betray her like the main character did.

madanxiety's review against another edition

4.0

A solid late twenties romance framed by an Armenian American cultural context. Idk, not rly much to say abt it. I didn't find the main character that likeable.

Like only realizing she doesn't love her partner after 6 years is crazy 💀 and then the lack of communication with like everyone in her life. Obviously there'd be no book without these character flaws, but it's just kinda silly like when all the conflict is easily avoidable and derived from poor communication.
