This was a great read. In such a short amount of time Herrera was able to establish a series of believable, rounded characters and their interrelationships. The star of the show was obviously the romance between Elias and Desta. It was just SO. SWEET. I could tell that they had really deep feelings for one another, but they also had amazing chemistry.

This book was SO CUTE. I immediately fell in love with the two main characters, Desta and Elias, and was invested in their love story from the beginning. This book goes beyond just a romance story, though, and brings up important topics, such as cultural identity and homophobia.  The story is set in Ethiopia and discusses their lack of LGBTQIA+ rights, which is something I knew nothing about before reading this and am so glad I got to learn about this topic. It's easy to forget that other cultures are so different from mine and I appreciate stories that remind me there are so many different cultures out there with with a different set of standards and rules. Be prepared for *steam* in this book as well! 

I listened to the audio version & it was good! The narrator did a good job and would recommend on audio.
