Another deliciously swoony read from one of my favorite authors/people Nisha Sharma! I wish these restaurants were real!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC for my honest review. Okay so let me start off by saying I loved Dating Dr Dil which was the first book in this trilogy. Now this book blew that one away for me. I absolutely adored this book. Nisha just keeps getting better. Now I’m just here impatiently waiting for Veera’s story!!

I’m LOVING Nisha Sharma’s Shakespeare-inspired series. I found this book an even faster read than Dating Dr. Dil. Without giving too much away, I was surprised that Benjamin was into the specific form of intimacy that was discussed! When he brought out the
ropes I said, “WAIT WHAT?!”
However, I found the discussion of that typically being denoted as “white people shit” incredibly necessary! Bobbi is an incredibly likable FMC and I connected with her on the struggle to ask for help. I wasn’t as big of a fan of Benjamin as a MMC (I didn’t connect as much with his personality and thought processes) however, I thought he made some incredibly romantic gestures (had me kicking my feet and giggling).  My favorite scene in the whole book had to be
when the wedding party discover that Bindu’s mother in law (I’m blanking on her name) is the shaadi saboteur. There were tears coming out of my eyes!! I wasn’t laughing so hard!
