However, there were some things that didn’t work for me: Okay but guys, Tashie didn’t have to write about a boyfriend buying his girlfriend books just to be his fake-girlfriend, like why? My standards are already so high! How do you expect me to find a good guy for me now!?Īlso, where do I sign the petition to have a grandmother like Dadu? Like oh my God! Karina was blessed to have Dadu!! She was my absolute favorite and I’m a sucker for supportive grandparents so Dadu clearly gets the award for the best grandmother. Karina was basically me and I haven’t really felt as represented in a desi book that in this book. I’ll not even be kidding when I say this, I have highlighted almost all of what Karina says because I just connect to her on a deep level and I think Tashie did a good job in creating such a beautiful character. Though Karina agrees, she can’t help but start counting down the days until her parents come back.As someone who hasn’t every really paid attention to her mental health, this book was like an eye-opening one, so I’m gonna say this as someone who MIGHT have undiagnosed Anxiety, the mental health representation in this book was immaculate! The way I connected to the MC and the way this story moved forward, it was beautiful. But Ace Clyde does everything right-he brings her coffee in the mornings, impresses her friends without trying, and even promises to buy her a dozen books (a week) if she goes along with his fake-dating facade.
Pretending to date him? Out of the question. Tutoring the school’s resident bad boy was already crossing a line. Instead, one simple lie unravels everything.
When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Keep her head down, get through high school without a fuss, and follow her parents’ rules-even if it means sacrificing her dreams. How do you make one month last a lifetime? In this sparkling and romantic YA debut, a reserved Bangladeshi teenager has twenty-eight days to make the biggest decision of her life after agreeing to fake date her school’s resident bad boy.
