This was so cute! And much deeper than expected: I really enjoyed the book's commentary on consent and privacy in such a heavily digital world, as well as how ruthless the internet can be. This book also contains some mental illness and trauma rep, which is handled well. The symptoms aren't pushed aside or forgotten about when the romance rolls around, but they also don't overshadow the characters or turn into trauma porn. Wonderful.

My biggest/only issue is that the dialogue is really stiff sometimes. It took me out of the story and made it harder to get attached to the characters.

I haven't read any other book in this series (I didn't know it was #2) so I'll have to do that soon!

Another sweet-yet-serious romance from Alisha Rai that hit the spot! Check out my full review at Forever Young Adult.

I liked this book a lot. It had diverse main and side characters and I've been trying to diversify my reading even if it is still romance. I liked that there was anxiety/panic disorder and PTSD representation. The romance in this book is so natural and real. It was refreshing for real life situations to happen or be mentioned during intimate scenes. I recommend this book and I will continue to read the rest of the series

I was excited when this came out. The Right Swipe was everything and I couldn't wait for Katrina's story. Jas has been her bodyguard for years. Lately the tension between them is getting too much for anyone to handle. When Katrina goes Viral, Jas comes up with a solution for them to escape until the commotion dies down. This is when things start to heat up for them. This was a cute romance and everyone should read this series.

this was such a good read!

I loved the diversity, the Punjabi culture, the friendship and love between Rhiannon, Katrina and Jia ❤️

overall a great read with many great topics such as mental health problems on both MCs sides, but also abusive parents and quite a lot of green flags regarding relationships.

but I missed a bit of story. the going viral thing was not embellished enough. the story was more character driven than plot driven, but it somehow was not plot heavy enough for me.

enjoyed it massively nonetheless and will finish this trilogy!

For a romance novel, this was pretty good! I liked the diverse characters and the focus on mental health. I also appreciated the author's end note about the history of the punjabi/mexican community in California.
