first half (ish) wasn’t that bad but everything crashed and burned when they got married
Stuck with You by Ali Hazelwood
5.0
could her books be more diverse? yes. could her characters be a bit more interesting? yes. did i enjoy this nonetheless? also yes.
زندگی گلزار ہے by Umera Ahmed

one star for college kashaf and college kashaf only.
this book was nothing short of atrocious. from the rampant misogyny in zaroon to the abuse, it was a complete shitshow.
i literally had to muster all my power to finish, it was that excruciating.
kashaf’s character had great potential in the beginning—a feminist with strong political views who held her ground, i was rooting for her!!! but her character completely crumbled as she got older and the story progressed.
i really hated so many parts about this book but what i hated the most was kashaf’s acceptance of zaroon’s behaviour. i mean, we’re introduced to such a strong and powerful character in the beginning only for her to turn into a robot who lives to serve her husband and accept his bullshit (like girl… he literally slapped you twice and practically called you a whore and kicked you out while being a complete dick himself).

such a cool book in the sense that it reads and feels exactly like a collection of short stories despite being one story if that makes sense. i really loved this book, just wish the ending was less abrupt ☹️
