A slow start, lots of tension in the middle, and big rush of action at the end.
India Dashwood is a yoga instructor and incense maker. Ten years ago, she shared a magical moment with Yash Raje, who then ghosted her and left her heartbroken. Now, he suddenly turns back up in her life.
Yash is campaigning for governor of California. But when his bodyguard gets shot by a white-supremacist targeting Yash for bring South Asian, he finds himself unable to go back onstage to finish out his campaign. His family urges him to try yoga with India Dashwood, but he knows he wronged her many years ago.
Moderate: Gun violence, Hate crime, and Sexual assault

I didn't love that Yash going through intense physical therapy after his accident is framed as "escaping his wheelchair." Like, it fits his character, but I wish someone had pushed back a little bit harder than India does that his life wouldn't have been over (she does point out that he was able to walk again mostly through luck and the good fortune of being born rich enough to have all of the required funds and time to work through this). I did like that we got into the PTSD Yash had over Julia's assault, and it felt like we finally named it as an assault rather than just a Bad Thing.
