So there were a lot of elements I liked in this book:
Fake dating trope, teenager passionate about causes, talking about mental health, weird baby animal as pet
Unfortunately, this book was pretty meh for me.
Pinky didn’t feel like a “rebel,” just a pouty teenager.
I felt like I didn’t get to know Samir or Pinky other than surface level annoyance.
I was confused about Ms. Kumar (Pinky’s mom) being so apathetic about social causes.
People don’t stop caring about things just because they grow up
If you liked previous books in this world, you’ll probably like this one, but it was just ok for me.
