Thank you @netgalley for this ARC
Meghana is being pressured by her parent to get married. She is an English/Theater teacher and he mother does not like her choice of profession. She feels that is more to life. Karthik is a grump of a man who is content in his life but his parents want him to get married. He does not want to get married. He just wants his parents to stop
pressuring him about it. Karthik gives into his mom and tells her that she can set him up with some women. This is how Karthik and Meghan meet. After meeting up and talking a while they determine that neither of them wants to get married. They come up with an idea to have a fake engagement. This will agreement will hopefully stop their parents from pressuring them so much. Meghana also wants to make her ex jealous and when she is invited to his wedding she takes Karthik. At the wedding she introduces Karthic as her fiance and this has no effect on her ex. She is devastated. As time goes by Karthic and Meghana have to spend time and slowly they get to know each other. As time goes by they become close and slowly they realize they are in love and perfect for each other.. I learned so much about the Indian culture in this book too.
This was an adorable, charming and unique book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It also happens to be my book club’s BOTM for February.

A adorable debut novel. Usually fake dating is so ridiculous, but in this case it "made sense". I loved the Indian representation. Wish there hadn't been so much miscommunication but otherwise it was very sweet.
