Thank you to @liberlady aka the writer for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Akira is an Indian woman who moved to New York for a master in architecture. She lives with other Indian girls, calls her family every day and has immediately bonded with classmates of different origins than the USA. Then she meets Sam, the broody quiet one who falls for the colourful, loud woman.
Clash of cultures is at at the forefront of the story, and it's what I liked the most (an episode I especially liked regards Akira and a certain bathroom mug) (but then again I'm Italian, we have our bidet, so I know the drill abroad). Seeing Akira explain her points to the white cishet guy, him being all sensitive and ready to learn was really satisfying.
And India, omg i loved everything about that part, I can't say much about it cause spoiler, but I laughed out loud, got to love Akira's family, and mildly fell for Sam's friend Luke. Can't wait for his story 😉
