Some people in other reviews discussed the mix of serious issues and romance as a detriment, but I found that the infusion of Armenian culture was my favorite part of this book. I liked the love interest, the food, the conflicts. I just didn’t like the main character. I wanted to like her, but the more bad decisions she made make me just not enjoy her as much. That doesn’t mean she didn’t feel real, because she did, it was just hard to read as she kept making those decisions.
