Counting Down with You

allison_harding shared a tip "So freaking cute!!! Absolutely loved Ace and Karina, and the whole book was just perfection. I’ve read both of Tashie Bhuyan’s books in one sitting 😅 overall, I’d rate it 5 stars"

emily_gabriella78 shared a tip "My fav book of all time! The perfect YA contemporary romance that is also definitely about family ties, being independent, and finding self-love. the characters, main and side are to die for. I’ll say it: the playlist within the book that is actually worked into the plot is the best too. +the poems❤️ I smile SO MUCH thinking about Counting Down With You. Bangladeshi-American Representation!! NO dumb miscommunication between the couple for conflict!! Have the best time reading!!!"

hailey_penner shared a tip "I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book. An absolute all time favourite of mine. I fell in love with the characters and I think it’s safe to say it raised my standards for in a relationship. The most adorable couple who really didn’t fight or have conflict which I really enjoyed. This author is so very talented and I cant wait to read more of her things when they come out!"

inara_richardson shared a tip "It says on the back of the book that once you start it you'll fall in love with it from beginning to end and I immediately fell in love with it it's a wonderful story and I recommend it"

liv-ing_normally shared a tip "Absolutely adorable couple and witty and cheesy dialogue. Nice anxiety and culture rep (however, I’m not of that culture, so some might differ in opinion)"

lauren_kinsleah_gra shared a tip "i loved this book, (bad boy good girl/ fake dating trope 😉), the characters in this book were amazing !!! there was a lot of diversity which i think is very important, also comes with a playlist (it has taylor swift and louis tomlinson on it 😩). i couldn’t put the book down, every moment i was interested. the main character, karina, is bangladeshi american and the book covers many problems that she faces. (also huge secret 🙊🙊 i imagined ace, love interest, as frat boy harry😋)"

nicole_lopez_7216 shared a tip "I love this book. It’s just, ugh so good. The fake dating trope (a personal fav), Karina’s inner struggles with herself, tw: cultural trauma and parents unfair expectations, the giddy young love, made this book soooo good and heart touching. It felt like Bhuiyan took my deepest feelings and put it on paper. Such amazing character development and character dynamics. Definitely worth the read. #StanDadu💖"

ezra_dupree shared a tip "Loveeeed this book, ace is prob the most respectful book boy ever, tells of a nice teen romance/fake dating and it’s pg (kissing ,hand holding) overall a nice quick read couldn’t put it down it was so good"

mac_n_cheese_5083 shared a tip "this book is so unbelievably incredible holy. One second im crying the next im smiling like an idiot. As someone who can relate to the main character in a lot of ways especially the anxiety part, the author portrayed it so perfectly it hit super close to home that it in fact just broke into my home. Anyways this book is so worth it and and just 10/10"

maika_aeryl_jeciel shared a tip "It was so good! Ace is a top tier love interest and I loved Karina’s journey with her parents and her strong connection with her Dadu. I love all the pop culture references and how they complete one another. A 9/10 for me!"

wad.s shared a tip "This book was so good! I was expecting some cliche long distance letters, but it was a beautifully written story that warmed my heart so much."

ollie_lee_9495 shared a tip "i love a good fake dating trope. i wouldn’t say i really like romance, but it pulls me in at times. ace is just wow. i like everything he likes, which was quite surprising to see. i love nandini and cora; i wish i had two best friends like them. i related to karina, despite not having very strict parents like hers, in the way of her internal feelings, and i don’t know how i keep picking books where i relate so much. but i love it. this book has me wanting to be someone’s lionheart."
