Solid debut. I like how colonialism gets addressed here. Would be interested to read at least the second book.

As much as I love the enemies-to-lovers/rivals-to-lovers trope, and despite some moments between them, not sure if I should root for Imani and Taha. Can’t trust someone who acts one way when they’re alone with their love interest but then is the complete opposite when other people are around.
