If I hadn't read Sara Desai's book in the series I would have liked this more. I feel like it hit the same hallmarks as first book a little too often for comfort. Does Daisy have neurodivergent? Could they say it? Felt like she was a walking cliche and that crashed with personality they gave her in first book.

The writing style of the author hampers this book. It lacks emotional depth. It’s a bunch of cliched plot points and tropes thrown together for 300+ pages. And sometimes her writing style feels like whiplash. It’s a shame cause the premise and merging of the two MCs cultures was intriguing. It just needs a better writer.

I wanted to like this more than I did. I enjoyed the continuation of the Patel family, but it was painfully predictable and I found myself eager to finish the book so that I wouldn’t have to read it any more. Parts were lovely and the basic idea of the story is enjoyable, but some things were dragged out and far too many others were rushed. A book of cliches, humor, sex, and a painfully predictable storyline.

I really enjoyed this second instalment! It was even better than the first. This had lots of tropes used well - tragic backstory, miscommunications, friends to enemies to lovers - plus the awesome ensemble cast of the first book. I liked the love interest in this one a whole lot and also loved the quirkiness of the geeky heroine.
