I loved this book so much. It was a super fun read with adorable romance and a great writing style! I loved learning more about Indian weddings and the culture that surrounded them! It was so much fun to read!
I also really liked the family dynamic and the focus on sisterhood. I felt like that was really well done. Zuri was a great main character and the romance with Naveen was the cutest thing ever!
I also liked the music! Iโve read so many YA contemporaries this year but this one was definitely one of the best!

โNever, ever forget the women who came before you and paved your path so you wouldnโt have to fight as hard, or at all. You make a decision and go with it, no matter what others want.โ
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read and review this story prior to its 4/19 release date.
I really struggled with how to rate this one. I didnโt like it per say, but it wasnโt outright terrible either.
Sajni Patel writes great stories that represent her culture and really gives the readers a good inside look to all things Hindu, and I respect that and enjoy that. It educates the reader but in a way that you canโt really tell since itโs incorporated into the story itself.
This one was too long. It could have been at least 3 or 4 chapters shorter. It dragged, and the further I got, the harder it was for me to continue because I didnโt really see the plot going anywhere. It was like nothing was happening. I also felt like the main character was super arrogant and she annoyed me. Her personality was terrible, and I felt bad for poor Naveen because she was nasty to him. It was playful at first, and then it just felt downright mean.
I enjoyed the descriptions at first, but then it was too much. I get why she was so descriptive, but it could have made the book 100 pages shorter if she cut back on that.
There was also a lot of characters to keep track of and it took me quite a bit to remember who was who.
Overall, it wasnโt terrible but I really wasnโt a fan, which disappointed me because I loved her book โThe Trouble with Hating Youโ and it was one of my favorites of the year in 2020. I have one other book by her and Iโm going to still give it a chance and hopefully, it doesnโt deter me away from Patelโs future works.
โI felt it in my shoulders and back, through my soul, becoming one with my instrument so that it hummed with every heartbeat.โ
