Lovely book! There is a lot of discrimination in the book, so please read content warnings. There are some characters that are so hateful I wanted to throw the book a few times. The fake dating trope was good, and the duo perspective helps us see both sides and their yearning. Love the representation of Bengali people and queer people and family dynamics in an Asian household.

Only reason not 5 stars is there are a few typos and mismatched quotations marks that I can't help but notice and keep track. Not sure if it's just in my copy, but wanted to note that.
