If it wasn’t for the fact that I read this after work and it’s been hectic there, I would have finished this so much faster.
I love love loved the characters in the book!
We have Zara who is always surrounded by her family and they’re always up in her business and pushing her to get married. After all, what else are auntie’s going to do during wedding season, right? She is a whirlwind. She has an energy off 1000 suns, she loves her life too The fullest, she also just got a job where it feels like home and most importantly doesn’t want love because love will eventually die.
Jay, Jay is too busy expanding his business for love. He also has to take care of his mom and make sure she is okay. After all, it’s what he’s always done. He was in charge of watching out for his men, he took care of his mom when she was sick, he takes care that his business has no issues and can grow. If he were to find love, he needed someone who was calm, successful, and not clingy.
These two were on their separate paths. That is until Zara’s cousin, Jay’s best friend is getting married and they go to paintball for their bachelorette/bachelor party. That’s when Zara shoots him in the ass and he can’t get her off his mind. For Zara, anytime she even thinks about another woman being around Jay drive her crazy.
And then their wonderful story begins to come together.
The way Sara put this together and showed how both of them had their own struggles that they had to come to term with, her with her traumatic past being a divorcee kid and him with his PTSD, It came so beautifully together. I also love love love Parvati. She’s such an amazing best friend.
The way that she chased him instead of him chasing her in the end? Incredible!!!!!
I will say though, it was a very fast ending.

4.5
4,5 I’m taking away .25 because I thought Jay was too possessive in the beginning but it went away so once again just .25. I’m taking another .25 away though because I feel like Sara Desai reused some of the problems in the previous books for this one.
There were lots of moments that made me blush and made me want to close the book/hide my face with the book (in a “AH THATS SO CUTE” and “SWOON” kind of way). I liked Jay, and honestly Zara was not annoying at all, my pick is still Liam though I’m kinda bummed they weren’t in this besides being mentioned.I was SO GLAD when part of the storyline didn’t involve Jay and his dad meeting and his dad apologizing and Jay forgiving him because that would’ve been dumb.
Also I don’t want to be THAT person but I’m starting to think Sara Desai has mommy issues.
I thought the celebrity loving bits were funny and relatable to me. I loved how Jay and Zara complement each other and that Zara makes Jay feel comfortable enough to not have to be the one ‘in charge’, thought that was very sweet. Oh, and Jay basically doing damage control before Zara runs into anyone/anything was funny and adorable too.
