I liked this but the entire theme of the book was "this can be fixed with communication"
That being said, it was cute. I love Daniel.
I suggest taking a shot every time Preeti says any iteration of "oh my god"

Where do I begin with this one? Preeti and Daniel's second chance was very emotional and challenging but I'm glad they got their happy ending. Honestly though maybe because I've seen Bollywood movies my whole life but the aunties still got on my nerves lol. I hate the miscommunication trope. I wish Daniel and Preeti just talked. That's what irritated me the most because they basically annoyed me for most of the book. The book just seemed a bit all over the place at times but at the same time, there were moments where I thought this was a five star book. With all that being said, I loved the representation throughout this and it was like a palette cleanser from the first book. Despite everything it was still a good book and I would recommend.

another book with South Asian representation. I loved this book and all the books this author has wrote within this series. I think its so important exploring the racist aspects of the Indian community and the stigma that is held on marrying someone outside of race and religious beliefs in a modern society.

An incredible followup to the first book in this series. I really loved the romance and the chemistry the characters had on page. It made it very apparent they had history and instantly made me root for them to resolve their pasts and get back together. A big fan of the one bed/one apartment trope that was masterfully executed for maximum awkward run-ins, partial nudity, lots of proximity and almost touches, plus a boatload of well timed innuendos. Excellent book, can't wait for the rest of the books in this series!!
