Food allergy/anaphylaxis description used as a casual plot point:

Chapter 7 contains a moderately graphic description of anaphylaxis due to a food allergy occurring simultaneously with a panic attack, which happens as a result of a bad date.

anastasiadreaming's review against another edition

Shockingly bad. First chapter is essentially emotional trauma for the FMC with no redeeming qualities for any of her family members. No build-up nor tension between the FMC and MMC. When we do expand upon the MMC, he is terribly misogynistic, says disgustingly horrible things to the FMC (red flag alert), and has awful thoughts. For example, when having an argument with the FMC at her house surrounded by aunties, all he can think about is how much he wants to 5pank her. I’ve seen in other reviews that he calls his pen!s ‘Charlie’ as well. I can’t believe I read 88 pages of this rubbish...

Overall, I enjoyed this book. There was a part about midway through where the dialogue got a bit... strange. it seemed like the author ran out of steam or something. Instead of actual dialogue, it felt like the characters were reading out a synopsis of the main leads. Howewer, that was limited to that middle portion and the book recovered nicely, in my opinion.

At all the people blacklisting this book and the author bc they found out Prem refers to his willy as Charlie, I have a few things to say. 1) grow up, 2) y'all yuck this then read other books with more egregious literary crimes and don't blink an eye...why?, 3) Prem is a fuckboy did you expect anything else? He's a silly little airhead with an ego the size of his dick what else was he going to do besides name it smh.

Anyways. Solid book. Loved that this book is an ode to elder sisters in brown housholds, we do be carrying the family legacy on our backs only to be handed off in marriage like we're burdens. Hate to see it.

I loved how this pulled from both Shakespeare's original text but also riffed on the vibes of 10 Things I Hate About You. The writing was hilarious and engaging. The characters were incredibly lovable and I would go to bat for Kareena in the blink of an eye. The smut is next level. I love the chaos of this book and I can't wait for the rest of this series!!
