I enjoyed this story of coming out and figuring out community and romance from an Armenian American perspective. I appreciated getting to learn more about Armenian culture through this lens

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?

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.

This is def a culturally specific book. Its brilliant writing is what makes it so good. The way the author was able to weave Armenian culture into a coming out narrative is awesome! I loved every minute of it!!!!
