This was an incredibly difficult book to read, and contains a lot of discussion around sexual violence, so just a heads up if that's triggering for you. I expected this book to be a cute "enemies-to-lovers" book but it is way more emotionally intense than that. I feel weird writing a review about the romantic aspect about this book, especially because it contains such a serious discussion like sexual violence. If you're looking for a lighthearted romance novel, this book is NOT it. The characters seemed pretty unrealistic and I found the "enemies" part too intense, there wasn't really any lightness to it. Additionally I just didn't feel like the characters actually had realistic chemistry. It ended up feeling very "the man is going to save the woman" in this story, which I didn't particularly like. Overall it's just an okay book, and definitely not the romance novel it's marketed as.

I liked this book, though the tension around the past sexual assault made it a tough read. The attraction between the main characters was written well. I like books where the chapters switch between mfc and mmc pov, but the audiobook narrator is one woman. Spend a little extra and hire a man to read the men’s parts!

As a Indian myself, I sometimes get a little uncomfortable with reading books the showcases my culture. Its maybe because I'm nervous that other people might perceive it the wrong way or the representation maybe bad. But this book....omg....I will say that I expected to read just a simple rom com and I got more than what I bargained for. This book shows the importance of community that our people really believe in, very accurately and it also showed the toxic parts too. Tbh I was def more interested about the whole family situation than the romance but even then I liked them. It was a solid read, but I do think it was little on the nose with the feminists themes (I'm saying this as a feminist), if I have to sleep out why certain things are problematic to a guy, I'm not gonna date him.
