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.

It was pretty good, with a couple of cute moments. Just wasn’t quite as good as The Trouble with Hating You, likely because I feel like the author couldn’t delve into certain topics as deeply as I would have liked (probably because the main topics of The Trouble with Hating You were  more familiar to the author). Some of the long speeches felt a little hollow. Overall though, it was a good and interesting read, just probably not something I’d keep coming back to reread.
