Sorry, Bro is a funny, relatable romance book with lots of diverse rep! I have never read a book with Armenian rep before and wish I had! I learned so much about food, dancing, culture, and more! This also had an amazing sapphic relationship that was sweet, sexy, at times angsty. I really like how the main character worked through things at the end. I was really proud of her character growth! I can't wait to read more from this author!

This was really beautiful. I knew little to nothing about Armenian culture before I read this book, and this book really opened my eyes to it.

I loved Nar and Erebuni and the other characters.

Honestly, my only qualm about this book is I don't totally love the title but that really doesn't detract from this book that much.

Super cute rom com! The coming out storyline was handled really well and it’s always so great to read sapphic stories that center diverse voices.

Thank you to Berkley and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for the honest review

I had a couple friends hype up Sorry, Bro to me and I'm so happy they did. Taleen Voskuni's writing was fresh and voicey and hit all of my single-POV soft spots.

This was entirely Nar's story as she grappled with her job, a maybe fiancé, coming out of the closet, her culture as an Armenian and truly her identity and who she wanted to be. She made quite a journey, exploring her culture, her sexuality, and her family dealing with the grief of the loss f her father.

The romance in this book was soft. Erubini connecting Nar with her culture as well and helping her decide what she wanted out of her life and her work. While I was expecting more of a romance, I liked Erubini and her sexual chemistry and attraction with Nar were instantaneous.

Overall a wonderful story of culture, of identity, and just being yourself and finding your people. I can't wait to see what Baleen writes next.
