Good. A few parts felt rushed, but honestly that’s how Shakespeare feels a lot of the time too. Sex scenes were surprisingly short/not as detailed as expected. Kind of a bummer on that front. Overall fun and enjoyable.

This was a fun and sexy read! There was a twist that I didn’t see coming. I just struggled with the lack of chemistry between the mc’s.

This is a (VERY loose) retelling of Much Ado About Nothing. Bobbi is a wedding planner and Benjamin (Bunti) is a restaurateur/chef- both volunteering their services for their friend’s wedding.
This is the second in a three book series of Shakespeare-inspired Punjabi love stories. Dating Dr. Dil was the first. I gave that book 4 stars but I did like this one better. It shares many of the same strengths while avoiding some of the pitfalls.
Both books will make you blush.

I absolutely adore this brilliant sequel to Dating Dr. Dil!! This book showcase Bobbi- a wedding planner and Kareena's bestfriend- alongside Bunty- an Indian chef and Prem's bestfriend as a delightful couple.
The story takes you through many tropes, my favourite being enemies to lovers and trust me it was so well done. In fact, I'd even go as far to say that it was much better that the prequel.
Desi representation is important to me and I believe Sharma has done an amazing job with her portrayal through this book. Aunties and Indian communities are huge parts of our lives and I appreciate the positive take on it rather than shaming our culture with characters who hate their background like many depictions do. I believe this book is accurate in showing some struggles of brown people, while still emphasising on the way they accustom themselves to their background happily.
Bobbi and Bunty are both such beautiful characters with so much depth, I found myself lost reading for hours. Nothing about them felt far fetched. They had valid, relatable dilemmas and struggles, and I was overjoyed at the way the story ended.
Now when you find you yourself around Indian media, drama is essential in EVERYTHING. And you won't be disappointed by the drama of the 'shaadi sabotage' which gives you a hearty laugh and some enjoyment.
If you didn't already realize what I was leading up to with all of this-let me say it straight out. Tastes like Shakkar is a superb book which you MUST read<3
