Mildly enjoyable, the characters were a pain in the ass though. I know this book is about their development and so their flaws were a main focus, but GODDAMN did these characters have flaws. Especially Tejas. I don't think he underwent any significant development, he's still egotistical and arrogant by the end. As for Aisha, the author could've done more with her body image issues, but i understand that life doesn't allow you to focus on just one thing at a time, and since this book is about just that, she couldn't turn all of her attention to it. And Ruhi, i guess the development for her was supposed to be not letting other people walk over her all the time and exerting some presence of her own, but the way she did it was kind of awful. I mean, I was rooting for her, she was such a girlboss until she wasn't. I can't stand Tejas or Farah. And i still don't know why Tejas and Aisha's relationship was hinted at in the end, because they should both know he's an asshole through and through.
The book overall is enjoyable for a one sit read though.
