i really wanted to like this. i would say the best parts (by far) are the bits about Armenian culture. that was very enjoyable to read about and is a culture that i have not encountered in a lot of books. but the main character is so insufferable and kinda gave YA vibes? she makes MANY bad decisions and nothing ever really comes from them?
also the fact that her boyfriend proposed to her, she said she needed time to think, and then while he was away he was thinking about her and awaiting her response she was out matchmaking and dating someone else??? like at least tell your boyfriend no first. that rubbed me wrong
there were also way too many pop culture references and jokes that don’t really land anymore and a lot of the dialogue was very unrealistic. this had so much potential!!!!
