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.

Lost half a star for the scene where she caresses him *through the shower curtain* for an extended period of time and it’s meant to be sexy. Ugh. Ick. Nope. 

But I did completely relate to the way he could calm her anxiety just with a presence and a touch - I am lucky enough to have that kind of a person in my life and I knew exactly how she was feeling as she was able to breathe easier when he was there.
