I loved this book but really really hated Bunty calling Bobbi his Queen. It was so over the top and cheesy I feel like it kinda cheapened the experience. But other than that, AMAZING. So cute and fun!

Nisha Sharma has quickly become an auto-read author for me. Bobbi and Bunty have such a tempestuous relationship that quickly becomes a solid relationship. I appreciated that this romance wasn't about IF they would get together but if they could make it work long-term. I loved that it was Bunty who had to make the tough choice about his life to be with Bobbi and the hilarious mystery aspect. This is a Much Ado retelling which took a minute to take, but I loved that the "someone is trying to ruin a wedding" stayed a plot point and not just "two people fighting because they are obsessed." It's nicely done.
