My one complaint is that there werenāt any detailed scenes of the protagonist meeting her extended family in India. We just hear a summary after she returns to the US. I would have liked that to be more fleshed out.

Cute book, the obligatory third-act conflict felt rushed and didnāt feel like it was resolved in a satisfactory way but the first two-thirds were delightful.

As an added bonus, Lalli did a masterful job of presenting the cultural setting in ways that felt specific and true to life but also completely approachable for outsiders like me.
Moderate: Alcohol and Sexual content
