I absolutely adored this book. It fulfilled so many of my favorite tropes and had me turning the pages anxious to see how the happily ever after would work out.
Shroff is one of my favorite Indian Own Voices authors because she writes authentic, loveable stories that allow me to escape but also teach me more about the culture. It is especially fun learning about the culture surrounding weddings.
I really loved the realistic character flaws that Nikhil and Anita had. The storyline was very believable because it was easy to relate to the family dynamics and situations even if I haven't experienced the exact same thing.
The fake relationship and forced proximity in this book was amazing. I appreciate that while Shroff doesn't write explicit scenes she does make it clear in a clean way what is happening behind the mostly closed doors. The chemistry in this book was really good and I loved the romantic moments so much.
I really loved that Shroff basically took her characters down to their most desperate in this book and helped them dig back out. I cannot wait to see what Amar's story brings us!
I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest review.
