Such a fun, easy read. I didn't expect to be interested in wedding planning or the harp, or woodworking, but surprisingly the vibes are immaculate. A good book to escape reality with.

This was super cute! I don’t have much else to say about it really; I enjoyed it, but it didn’t change my life or anything! 

I really appreciated the Jewish #OwnVoices perspective and loved reading a story about a Jewish family that was full of joy and love and fun. I’m not Muslim so I can’t comment on the accuracy of Tarek’s representation— I know some folks have issues with the frequent depiction of Muslims who don’t follow the laws & customs of the religion and that others appreciate characters that reflect their experience with adherence in varying & complicated degrees.

What I can comment on is that I loved seeing a love interest with a chronic skin condition like eczema! As a life-long psoriasis-haver, it’s not often that I see other folks with shitty painful itchy irritated skin represented and have it be a part of them, not vilified or romanticized. So like, more of that please! 

I’m not going to be shouting about this book from the rooftops, but it was a good time! Would recommend if you’re looking for something heartfelt, thoughtful, romantic, and sweet!
