When I saw this describes as a bisexual My Big Fat Greek Wedding I knew I had to read it and I loved every second of it. My Big Fat Greek Wedding will always have a special place in my heart and now this book is right u there too. It was well written with an engaging narrative, a compelling storyline, well developed characters and adorable moments. I loved Nar and Erebuni I just wanted to jump right into the pages with them.
Funny and uplifting this is a great read

This was a slow start for me and there was a lot of explanations needed for certain words or phrases, but once it got going it was really sweet. I was fully invested in Nar and Erebuni (although I have to say miscommunication is my LEAST favourite trope) and I really enjoyed seeing how their relationship developed. A lot of likeable characters and the writing moved the plot along well.

I personally prefer romance with a lot less politics but I also think that books like this are important.
I picked this mainly because of the title but actually after reading it I’m not sure the title makes sense for this story! It’s so much more than what the title suggests.

I knew very little about Armenian culture before reading this and now I know a little. More books like this are definitely needed! I’m here for it. Would recommend giving it a read.

Such an amazing debut! I loved this book, it was such a beautiful romance. I cant wait to read more by this author!

Sorry Bro

There is f/f romance. There's self-acceptance, bisexuality , F/F relationships, great cultural representation, and the struggle to fit into their community.The Armenian representation was great !
Nar and Erebuni were my favourites. I couldn't wait to dive into the pages with them.
This is a fantastic read that is both humorous and uplifting.

Enter her mother who wants Nar to settle down with a nice Armenia boy. Armed with a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked men, she convinces Nar to attend 'Explore Armenia', a month-long festival of events in the city. But it’s not the parentally-approved playboy doctor or wealthy engineer who catches her eye - it’s Erebuni, a cool and intriguing young woman fully intouch with her heritage. Suddenly, with Erebuni as her guide, the events feel like far less of a chore, and much more of an adventure.

I really enjoyed this debut book by Taleen Voskuni.

Firstly I would like to mention how beautiful the cover is. Being an artist I love this minimalist very colorful type of art.

Erebuni's is a lovely, compassionate, soft natured and has a heart full of gold. Nareh's equally the same with wanted to also be the perfect daughter.

I probably wouldn't of put this as a rom com due to all the politics in the book, homophobia, sexism etc. It felt more like a cultural coming of age book.

It is beautifully written and I look forward to what comes next by Voskuni.

Such an amazing debut! I’m so glad I decided to pick it up because I loved it. Can’t wait for more from Taleen Voskuni!

This was a fun romance that dealt with sexuality and culture in a easy, nicely paced read. I learnt a lot about the Armenian culture while getting wrapped up in the cute romance and was rooting for Nar all the way through.

I really enjoyed this book, such an enjoyable sapphic love story. We follow Nar who's learning more about her cultural identity and hoping that her family accept her for who she is and who she loves.

I feel like it took me a bit to get fully invested into this book (mainly due to the language barrier and having to learn what things meant). However, I was quickly hooked, and couldn't put it down in the second half. Especially when we were hitting the third act break up… I'm not normally a huge fan, but the way in which it all went down was enjoyable, although, a little frustrating at the MC for the way in which she was handling things and wish she just ripped the plaster off quicker. But it was very much the push that Nar needed in her life, so overall I didn't mind it too much.

I enjoyed learning a lot about Armenian culture, food, and the genocide

— sapphic / LGBT+ romance
— own voice author

I absolutely loved reading this, I haven’t read ma my books at all on Armenian culture and this is definitely my first YA, I enjoyed learning about the food , the history and culture , I think the use of Nareh’s job as a reporter helped her rediscover her culture too, speaking of which I really like Nareh , I liked Erebuni a bit more, but together they were fantastic characters and a great couple.

I really loved the writing style , especially the breaking the fourth wall it’s so much fun and different from a lot of books I’ve read lately, I would definitely recommend this book, it’s full of fantastic themes such as self acceptance, self love, getting reconnected with your culture, obviously a great sapphic romance, what more could you want
