This was only a three star for most of the book, because it got bogged down in over-describing, and the dialogue was sometimes off to me, but hit a little harder in the feels at the end, with the super sweet family relationships, bringing my rating up a bit! Overall cute read.

funny lighthearted

This was a cute, endearing YA read. Personally, this took me a lot longer than normal to finish but that's because I don't particularly enjoy YA and this was my attempt at trying something new. I can see why it has great reviews and did enjoy getting a glimpse into the colorful world of Indian weddings, they seem to be filled with lots of family love and yummy food.

I think I might have graduated from YA contemporary. So much internet slang was used. Also the title is about the wedding. So why are we learning about her love of music? Feels like it could’ve been titled something by different.

such a fun and cute read!

it felt like spring romance come alive — hence why the release date was so perfect.

i loved how it was a completely fresh, new story while still using a multitude of tropes that one can’t help but love. the characters were very lovable and i did find myself rooting for the main leads.

High school senior Zuri is a hip-hop violinist who dreams of Julliard. Her parents want her to pursue a more secure degree. When a big audition falls the same weekend as her sister's wedding, she knows her parents won't let her go. With the help of cute-boy Naveen, the groom's cousin, can she sneak out long enough to make her dreams come true?

Zuri and Naveen are adorable together. The story is emotional with a strong voice that pulls you in. I enjoyed the details about the wedding rituals. I would love to see a sequel with Zuri and Naveen in college.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
