The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar
4.0
hopeful medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was a super sweet coming-of-age book that hit all the tropes in exactly the right ways. I loved the characters. I loved the focus on family. I loved how realistically messy the teen friendships were. The romance also felt very natural and realistic. There were a few inconsistencies that kind of bugged me, and the audiobook was not the ideal way to read it (the characters live in Dublin but the narrator had a very distracting American accent), but it was overall very good and cute! I'm super excited to read Hani and Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating now cause a lot of people like that one even more!
