I just don’t think I connect with Sharma’s writing style. It’s pretty cliche, however I understand that there is a need for cliche rom coms with diverse characters. I just don’t tend to enjoy super basic romance stories.

Weirdly, I enjoyed both of the characters, but I don’t think they made a good couple at all. I genuinely don’t think they’re compatible. 

I didn’t love the wedding saboteur plot line and I don’t think the pay off was worth it at all considering that
I haven’t read the first book.


I did enjoy the complicated family dynamics while still showing that there was a lot of love between disagreeing members.

I love the authors writing style. There’s a bridgeton X bride and prejudice feeling that is so immaculate.

Si bien fue una lectura entretenida, por momentos me sentía más atraída por el mini misterio de quien estaba saboteando la boda. Los momentos sexy de Bobbi y Benjamin fueron entretenidos pero me costó sentir auténtico el desarrollo del romance. 

Quizá me lea el último libro si lo encuentro en oferta, de otra manera tampoco me muero de ganas por saber qué pasa.

Se comen la naranja por ahí del 43% y es un 2.25/5 en mi escala de  porque usan cuerdas
