What I enjoyed most about this book was all the mentions of Indian/Desi food. Yum.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved pretty much every character in this aside from Kareena's Dad, grandmother, sister, and two of Kareena's dates.

the one that basically poisoned her with cinnamon when she specifically asked for no cinnamon because she's allergic, and he ignores that and gets her cinnamon anyway and all he could say was no normal person doesn't like cinnamon and she'll like it if she tried it, ugh just pissed me off, she was so lucky that Prem was there as she didn't have her EpiPen with her and Prem was able to rush her to a doctor, and then of course there's the misogynistic asshole that was the last date she had, saying she should lower her standards because of how she dresses and basically saying that she'd look prettier if she wore more makeup, just no absolutely not and I'm glad she held onto her standards and didn't settle for anything less than she deserves

There was one date of hers that I really liked though, but they were definitely better off as friends. 

Other than some of her dates and her dad, grandmother, and sister, I really liked pretty much everyone else. I absolutely loved Kareena's aunties, Kareena's friends, Prem's friends, Prem's mother, and I actually liked Prem as well, even if he's frustrating when it comes to his feelings most of the time. 

There were a few things that pulled me out of the story a time or two, but it wasn't enough to get me to stop reading. It just brought my rating down a little bit. 

I'd most likely recommend this if someone asked me about it. It was definitely an entertaining read overall.

This book disappointed me sooo much, I’m sad :( The plot sounded amazing and I really enjoyed the female lead but everyone around her literally mistreated her. You can’t convince me her family (+ her aunties) actually love or even like Kareena.

The male lead was so god damn disappointing, I almost dnf-ed the book just because of Prem. He is like everyone else in this book misogynistic and treats the mc like a dumb and naive little girl because she actually wants to marry because of love and not because it’s convenient. Can you believe it??? Kareena wants to be loved and Prem thinks it’s immature and unhealthy???? I could not stand his every-20-pages-rants-and/tantrums how unhealthy and bad love is. 

I thought I would at least enjoy the smut but no almost every scene was started with him thinking she’s a “sexy librarian” and his “Charlie” (yes, Prem named his dick) “threatening to poke a hole through his pants”…

And now the number one thing that broke me at the end: 

At her sisters engagement party Prem actually stands up for Kareena and tells her family off for treating her so badly. Her sister of course gets some misogyny thrown at her and not actual criticism of her selfish behaviour and Prem tells Kareenas father how he doesn’t value her in any way especially because of the issues around his retirement and him wanting to sell the house Kareena wants so badly. And what does her father do? Of course give her the house! I’m happy for this fictional character getting her fictional house but you know what I would have liked more? Kareenas father listening to his daughters wishes and giving her her mothers house that she loves so much and appreciating having someone in his life that values and will keep the memory of his dead wife alive. But no only when a man tells him what to do he does it. I just can’t…
