A perfectly enjoyable book. I found myself being disappointed by the way she treated her family, but a lot of the antics of the cousins to get her to the competition ended up being really fun. I wanted more of the wedding, less of everything else, but the ending was sweet.

Some of my favorite old Indian movies always have a big wedding sequence in them and I was missing those nostalgic big cheesy Indian wedding vibes in the Indian movies these days. This book made me feel all types of nostalgia because it had everything you could want, the wedding chaos, the copious amount of food, nosey relatives, the aunties always trying to set the singles up, cheesy romance where the love interests fall in love in the matter of days. I loved it!

Also can we talk about the cover!

This book was so much better than I expected it to be. I've wanted to read Sajni Patel's books for a while, and this was a great one. I took a star off since sometimes the writing was a bit cheesy, and the "teenage" voice seemed a bit forced. But the storyline, the plot, and the ending were incredible. But my favorite thing about this book was the DESCRIPTION. Each scene has so much detail making it so easy to imagine, and that is something I love about books. The chemistry between the two main characters was so good, and reading something so light-hearted felt nice. This got me out of my reading slump for sure!
