WHATTTTT
asian and hispanic rep too?? must add

@zya YES. both the mc's, are east asian and hispanic! the mmc is east asian and the fmc is hispanic !

ABHHWHAKJSB I NEED IT IVE READ ONE BOOK TOTAL W A MAIN CHARACTER THAT LOOKS LIKE ME (hispanic)

We love to see it!!!

@sofi I've never read a book with Arab main character (im Arab) but the east asian rep made me so happy 😭 since they're basically my distant cousins tf.

@robin real. I could talk about how important representation is in books for days

@maryam no bc why haven’t i either…? it’s so fucked up. white peoples throw fits the second the mc isn’t white bc “i can’t relate!! i can’t relate!!! i can’t picture myself as them!” like baby… ive had to do that my whole life w white ppl but i don’t refuse to read books w a white mc.

sometimes no rep is the best rep why is lola king writing a half arab half jew muslim in a gay polyamorous relationship 🫩

@sofi no that's so real 😭 white people were complaining about babel by rf kuang because it 'paints white people in a bad light /unrelateable for white people' 😭 like wtf

@khadeja Lola king is WHAT

yes im reading the book now i CANT he calls people habibi and says miskin too 😭

@khadeja WHAT BOOK IS THIS I WANNA HATE READ 😭

KING OF HEARTS READ AT YOUR OWN CAUTION ITS MMFF WHY CHOOSE AND I HATE THREE QUARTERS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE RELATIONSHIP 😭

also theres a prequel novella that gives u background on the ff couple but it sucks how do you fuck up lesbians
