okay so!!! start of the book, kind of boring. i couldn't really get into it. i would say the second half is better but overall, honestly, the book is kind offf boring specifically bc there isn't really anything going on. and i always start liking it a lot more towards the end. the plot could use some work, i think. i mean, it's good but nothing is actually happening sooo... i'm waiting for that. the characters r the main reason i enjoyed this book. i like cyrus!

and he and alizeh r so teeheehee. the banter and the tension like omg 🤭 just kiss. he's so down bad for her, i need him. i think he and alizeh have a lot more chemistry. i mean, kamran and alizeh had some chemistry, too. but it's very obvious who she's going to end up with lol. i kind of feel bad for kamran, though.

and i'm gonna be honest, i didn't enjoy reading kamran's pov as much as alizeh's buuut i liked kamran's pov bc kamran's pov means i get to see hazan and i want to get hazan pregnant. haha who said that... that's so crazy. but, really, he's actually so funny. i love him. i also really love omid and miss huda and i am screaming and crying and ripping my hair out over the fact we didn't get to see either of them much in this book except for towards the end. like!!! the two of them r so silly. i need more omid and miss huda. i wasn't expecting deen to like, be relevant or anything honestly 😭 but woohoo ig. he doesn't really stand out to me. he's super sweet, though. ummm i don't have much to say about this book. i do look forward to reading the next one. i only hope i see more of my favorite characters and the plot is.. yk. plotting.
