A very cute and wholesome book! I did enjoy that Eid and saving the Islamic Center was such an integral part. Said and Tiwa’s journey back to each other as friends (and something more) was sweet, albeit I felt a bit frustrated by how easily this could’ve been resolved by some basic communication. YEARS of misunderstanding because they couldn’t say anything to each other outside of letters???
