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. How do you make one month last a lifetime? Karina Ahmed has a plan. Keep her head down, get through high school without a fuss, and follow her parents’ rules—even if it means sacrificing her dreams. When her parents go abroad to Bangladesh for four weeks, Karina expects some peace and quiet. Instead, one simple lie unravels everything. Karina is my girlfriend. Tutoring the school’s resident bad boy was already crossing a line. Pretending to date him? Out of the question. 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. Though Karina agrees, she can’t help but start counting down the days until her parents come back. T-minus twenty-eight days until everything returns to normal—but what if Karina no longer wants it to?

Ok it’s the next morning and maybe I need to think more about this one because while I did devour it, there were some problems. And I reviewed this at like 1am so I feel like I didn’t have my reviewer hat on.
Bc for as much as I loved it, the writing was very hit or miss. I loved the poetry but some of the prose was a bit bland. And these high schoolers are way too smooth, I do not think if you shit all over another person that really likes you there’s just no hard feelings? Like we were all so insecure as high schoolers (right?? Please tell me I’m not the only one)
Her grandma still slaps tho
