A teen rom-com full of self-discovery, acceptance, and heartwarming connections. 
 
I truly loved how the author incorporated diversity within the cast of South Asian characters, the struggles each encounter at home, and the acceptance they find amongst themselves and aboard. 
 
Though each character's reason for being on the temple trip is general the same - being misunderstood and/or unaccepting parents - their stories are uniquely their own. For the first time, each character will feel seen for their true selves.
