For Razia, growing up is complicated by being Pakistani in 1980s NYC, highly religious parents, & her developing feelings for a fellow classmate @ her new high school.

Oh, but this broke my heart. My parents weren‘t as religious as Razia‘s, but her complicated friendships w/ the girls in her community, academic pressure, the feeling that you need to follow your parents‘ plan, & the fear you‘ll disappoint them, all felt familiar to me.🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Kenyazero I just started this one for QueerBC but I have plans to take it slow since it seems like it might be pretty tense/sad! 4h

I gave this a try, but I really dislike the main character. David arrives for his first year at Harvard and becomes obsessed with another student. He enrolls in a class he doesn‘t care about in order to follow her, then starts a relationship with her roommate to hopefully see her in her room.

I don‘t want him to win her over, and I don‘t want to watch him stalk her anymore, so I‘m out.

The writing is good, the topic just isn‘t for me.

Bookwomble Yeah, sounds horrible 😕 12h
Suet624 Ugh. Yeah, good call. 11h
Cathythoughts I bailed on this one too. Same reasons 👍🏻 2h

Enemies to lovers trope as a high school teacher returns to her small town and still hasn't dealt with her feelings for her unrequited, bearded childhood crush. After a faux pas pairs her with her crush's loathsome twin brother, a comical courtship ensues as the pair navigate small town politics and personal ambitions in this steamy rom-com.

Switching to fiction now that my hold for this anticipated read came in from the library. A little March Madness in the background

Thank you so much @AmyG for the birthday gift. I just finished packing for a couple nights away and am tempted to switch out the books I am bringing because I have really been wanting to read this one. I am already bringing another book you gifted me that I part way through! I am so grateful and excited!

squirrelbrain It‘s such a good book - switch it! 🤪 14h
AmyG You are so welcome. Have a wonderful birthday weekend!!! 14h
