I thought this was really funny and enjoyed the behind the scenes of Indian weddings and the drama with the saboteurs. I just didn’t totally fall for the love story.

Plus size and south asian rep was great! I loved reading about a culture different than mine and the familial expectations that come along with it. The mystery resolution was anti-climactic, and kinda disappointed me.

Overall though, I enjoyed this. It wasn't mind blowing but it was fun and entertaining! I will probably read the others in this series eventually.

This was a good addition to the series. It didn’t have quite the emotional draw as book 1 but I appreciated the different dynamic. And I also really enjoy the narrators they do a really good job of distinguishing all the different characters. The one thing that was missing for me is Benjamin doing something that truly only felt like it was for Bobbi. Like I needed more groveling for sure!! Otherwise I definitely enjoyed this read and I was right and wrong about the culprit!
