This book is told from the POV of four different sisters in four parts. The style changes with each POV, and I found that I liked it less and less with each change in POV.

Some fantastic rep in this book! I do think that the pacing was a bit clunky, as this kinda of felt like four books in one, I wish it was just one or two perspectives.

I’m not usually into rom-commy books, but I really enjoyed this one. Although there were some parts that I felt were cringey, that vast majority were not. The representation was sprinkled in perfectly without feeling forced, and the different POVs were great! My favorite POV was definitely Nidhi, the oldest sister, because she basically said everything that I feel as an oldest sibling, but also just as a person. I feel confident that anyone who reads this book will be able to see themselves in one of the sisters.

Four seasons, four sisters, four love stories set in the Pacific Northwest.
☔️
The Singh sisters grew up running their bed and breakfast inn, The Songbird Inn. When it's named the Most Romantic Inn in America, business starts to pick up. Told from Fall to Winter to Spring to Summer, each of the four daughters get their own romantic experience that changes their futures, while also dealing with discovering their roots, dealing with grief and discovering new love.

This was such an adorable #YA #storycollection #anthology by Maya Prasad. I loved seeing each girl's personality and the romances were so swoony! I adored the representation both in Indian culture and with gay characters. I want to read the second one now.

CW: mentioned death of parents, mentioned homophobia/biphobia, grief

A heartwarming, sweet YA story featuring four Desi sisters finding love in four different seasons as they live and work at their family Inn/Restaurant with their bi, widower father. This book was seriously one giant hug, full of romance, food, all sorts of seasonal feels and great queer rep. I loved each of the sisters' stories. Perfect for fans of Sajni Patel, Nadiya Hussain or Lillie Vale and good on audio. Much thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for early digital copies in exchange for my honest review!

I really enjoyed Nidhi’s story going through the same type of break up. I really understood her as well as the oldest/planner of the family. The rest of the stories were cute but not quite as fleshed out as Nidhi’s
