A very cute and fun Indian-Canadian love story. I loved Nadim and Reena from the start and loved their dorkiest. I hated the secrets and part of me worried about how healthy their relationship was and if it would work with so much deception and omission from the start. I am glad they were honest and plan to work on their relationship after they were married. I thought the book was wholesome and informative. I learned a lot about the Indian diaspora and relationship dynamics between siblings and parents, as well as mental illness. The food sounded AMAZING and I wish I could have everything Reena made and ate. Just a great, fun, sexy book.

I've really enjoyed reading more Own Voices lately. This glimpse into Indian culture was a treat. I loved learning more about their family customs and food.
The meet cute in this book was such a fun start and I really enjoyed watching Nadim and Reena get to know each other. I love books with strong friendships.
This book is full of secrets and that made it a little hard for me to love it.
I didn't realistic at first that this was teach a book 2 so I'm looking forward to going back and reading the first one.
