this book really should have been marketed differently.

whilst i absolutely adored the last 100 pages the first 200 were so slow to get through 😭

this isn’t a romcom - the romance was rushed and the focus wasn’t really on it at all. they just u-hauled the entire relationship. and scenes went by so so quickly when it just needed time to savour them and add more to the story, if that makes sense?

this is an absolutely beautiful love letter to armenian culture and owning your identity, and if it was marketed as that (and then further expanded in this direction) i really think i would’ve enjoyed it more <3

if you’re looking for a sapphic romance, there are better ones out there. but if you’re looking for a story that explores culture and being queer and finding your place in the midst of it all that just so happens to have a sapphic romance you might enjoy this more!
