Adored this YA rom-com! A lovely mix of humor and swooniness, with some heartfelt moments and family bonding thrown into the mix. Enjoyed the reverse parent trap storyline (or in this case, reverse sibling trap where Bibi and Sohel work together to break up their siblings engagement.) Great setting in Bangladesh with traditions and cultural expectations layered on.
 
 The romance was very cute, and I grinned like a fool during Bibi's shenanigans. 
 
 If I had to describe it, I would say it's the Bangladesh version of Crazy Rich Asians and Bridesmaids for teens.
