This was such a cute story - but I did find that the *problem* they are suppose to have came super late in the story which kinda threw me in a loop because that is suppose to be a bit sooner rather than like a chapter before it ends. 💀
Overall, it was a good story and cute. I loved the rep and the family dynamics especially Jia.

I absolutely adored the first 90% of this book. It manages to pack in multiple popular romance tropes, loveable characters, hijabi romance, maybe demisexuality… and then it just rushed through the ending in a way that didn’t make sense with how beautifully paced the rest is. Did the author have to rush for a deadline?

This was not my favourite in the series but it was ok. I enjoyed the family dynamics and the main characters, I just felt like something was missing. I wanted more, especially from the last 1/3 of the book.
