Emotionally, intellectually and humor wise, I learned so much from this book. I had a more deep understanding of Punjabi women and the inner workings of living in a community that thinks they know what is best for you yet in reality they truly don’t. The women Nikki instructs  are have their own personalities and demeanors. It was nice to read something that was enriching but hilarious. All the praises for this author and I am eagerly looking forward to more books from her.

Really enjoyed this one! I thought I was getting into a RomCom but it was so much more - arranged marriages and love marriages, murder mystery, humor and spicy stories. All really neatly tied together with engaging prose. I learned a lot about Sikh culture too.

 This book was a delight. I was not expecting the mystery (and action sequence). Learning about a different culture AND a mystery- this is my jam! Add in a bevy of fully realized female characters of all ages with back stories, unique perspectives and differing ways of taking agency over their lives and I am in reading heaven. AND some super spicy bits! More like this please!

I was expecting this to be a light-hearted read and while it was at times, it also deals with some heavy topics. There are themes of grief, misogyny and racism, as well as a mystery subplot I wasn't anticipating. These elements are balanced with funny and heart-warming moments though and I felt very immersed in the setting. I'd have liked to feel a little more connected to the main character because she felt a little surface level but I enjoyed it overall.
