Rain. finished reading and wrote a review...
I'm not going to be able to finish this before my library hold is up but I plan to return to it when my hold comes around again in what will unfortunately be several weeks as the book is rightfully very popular.
This book was a breath of extremely fresh air in the romance space. Cantonese and Indian leads? (Wow. An actual interracial romance where neither of the characters are white! When was the last time you saw that?) the struggles of being an underpaid grad student trying to do organizing with their union as well UGH! So incredibly good.
This is the best romance book I've read in an extremely long time. There are moments characters would say something that would... Resonate isn't the right word, but hit me severely. Like Mira's discussions and internal thoughts with her grad students or what Mira had to say about the situation after Isabelle went to meet her parents for a holiday I can't remember.
I don't enjoy reading romance much these days, but this one caught my eye last year and I wanted to read it. Ended up being very good. I recommend giving it a shot!
I really really highly recommend this book and hope that

I'm gonna combust if either of them talk anymore about unions and organizing. I don't want to sexualize unions and organizing, but it's so fucking hot to see two people who care deeply about their coworkers and the working conditions of people in their field and are taking specific action to leave the world a better place than they left it while possessing meager means themselves. Well fucking done.

when your book is boring, you use sex scenes to keep the reader engaged; but when 99% of your sex scenes are fade to black then you're left with nothing

It's so irritating how those men refuse to back down. Like GIVE UP.

What’s the title about? Is it something totally obvious that I skimmed over?
