***ARC Version***
The only reason this book did not get 5 stars from me is because I would have preferred more diversity. The main character is half white half black / mixed. The main love interest is white. Overall, the character has panic attacks shows neurodivergent/ sensory sensitivities, has abandonment issues, people pleasing tendencies, demiromantic, etc. I see a lot of myself and people I know in her. There are some instances the slang used feels like an adult writing from a modern teen pov which it is. I can relate to the being kicked out for the wrong reasons and complicated parent/family relationships. There was so much drama in this hetero story and I enjoyed it. I hope the FMC gets help, learns to be kinder to herself, and not force herself to have kids or do what people want. The author did really well.

adventurous challenging informative inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

I have never reviewed a cookbook before. But I have tried 2 recipes so far from two countries. I like to be able to refer to a recipe when cooking a new dish. Even though as a pescatarian I substitute somethings this cookbook is very plant based friendly. I do add my own seasonings and spices not mentioned in the recipes because my cultural palette is different but thats what makes it your own.

This was super cute. I wish the band was real. But lucky to read this as my last book at 2023. Romantic and relatable in the feelings of insecurity of one self. Love the diversity in bipoc & queerness. I hope for more queer stories of Sapphic and other lgbtqia queer love in the future!
