This story centers a romance and a classroom competition, but it is so much more than that. It also celebrates familial love, even amid the difficulties of coming out. The main character, Nishat does not always make the right decisions — nor do many of the other characters — but they are all constantly learning and being better throughout the story. This was such a sweet story, though it did not shy away from the realities of racism and homophobia. A wonderful balance of lightness and real-life.
