This was a stunning read full of cultural responsibility, healing, and self-discovery. Two best friends find their love blossoming into more in this coming-of-age tell. If you want something so utterly realistic in a poetic way, this is most definitely for you. It describes how hard it is to navigate life with unrealistic expectations due to a number of reasons and how hard it can be to choose love over them all. This was sweet yet dark and such a must read!
