- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
3.5
This was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I really enjoyed the first third or so - I felt that the main characters instantly had great chemistry, and I loved that the plot went in a very different direction to the one I had been expecting. Unfortunately, as the book went on, the characters started to irritate me more and more, and I didn't end up loving the romance as much as I initially thought I would. I did appreciate some of the conversations around culture, identity, and immigrants' experiences, but I also found the commentary to generally be quite surface-level. Ultimately this book was fine; I enjoyed the experience of reading it overall, and there were elements I did like, but for me it started strong and went downhill, and just didn't live up to its potential.
