Review:

Wow, this was so much worse than I thought it would be. It was so satisfying to read. I don’t understand the point of the game chats and text messages when it wasn’t even relevant to the plot. The main chapters were also so annoying and rude to each other. I hated that the crime was committed by Deen because it was so obvious and WHY WAS THAT NOT A BIG DEAL. He literally committed arson and no one cared. The parent dynamics and problems were also unnecessary to the stoat and added nothing. I felt like I was reading a first draft that wasn’t even completed! The ending was so bad. They don’t even end up together, it just ends with them seeing each other for the first time in like three years. It was also really weird that her sister was dating his brother but they will most likely end up together. That means she will be dating her brother in law which is so weird. I am so disappointed in this book.

Trigger Warnings:
Alcohol consumption, Arson (past, mentioned), Death of a parent (past, major theme), Drug addiction (past, mentioned), Emotional abuse, and Grief

Synopsis From Book:

After Kiran Noorani's mom died, Kiran vowed to keep her dad and sister, Amira, close. Then out of the blue, Amira announces that she's dating someone and might move cross-country with him. Kiran is thrown. Deen Malik is thrilled that his older brother, Faisal, has found a great girlfriend, even if it's getting serious quickly. Maybe now their parents' focus will shift off Deen, who feels intense pressure to be the perfect son. When Deen and Kiran come fact to face, they silently agree to keep their past a secret. Four years ago--before Amira and Faisal met--Kiran and Deen dated. But Deen ghosted Kiran with no explanation. Kiran will stop at nothing to find out what happened, and Deen will do anything, even if it means sabotaging his brother's relationship, to keep her from reaching the truth. Though the chemistry between Kiran and Deen is undeniable, can either of them take down their walls?
