Super cute and perfectly pitched with angst and growth and judginess without cattiness. Loved the protagonist never apologizes for her existence, that she insists on being recognized - something that’s hard for a lot of Asian immigrants in mostly white countries. Also, interesting to me in that this is the first book I’ve read with a Bangladeshi hero and a first with an Asian immigrant hero in Ireland. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
