It won't change your life, but it was nice
This was a perfectly pleasant 3-star YA mm story that pairs a teen from a culturally immersed Armenian family with a slightly older teen who seems to have minimal parental presence. There were messages about love and acceptance and doing the right thing. There were misunderstandings and conflicted loyalties. For the story backdrop, the angst level was relatively low. The Armenian food described sounded delicious.
I had one small fit of rage when reading caused by something that Ethan did and the non-existent reaction of Alek. This plot point is not significant to the story in any way, but it really chapped me since there was Alek as all about doing the RIGHT thing. ½ star deducted!
No story spoilers, but if you want to know what happened that torqued me
