I just reviewed Counting Down with You by
Tashie Bhuiyan
This book was super cute. I swooned so much. Karina was incredibly awesome and I was drawn in right away with her narrative. I love the way she spoke, from her nerves to her more confident and bold moments. She was very relatable and just really cool. I loved that she cared about school, loved English and was taking Italian. That bit definitely had me smiling. She made me laugh a lot when it came to getting caught up in the whole tutoring debacle with Ace. I loved that she could be honest with him and often told it like it was, but then her brain would overthink it and she would make me giggle with the thoughts in her head. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about Bangladeshi culture in this book.
