One of my most anticipated reads and it didn't disappoint. Prem and Kareena's relationship was everything. I loved the development Prem and had throughout the book and I like how Kareena always stood her ground. This felt like a bollywood movie in book version. I had so many movie scenes coming to mind. Prem defending her to her family, the pani puri competition and museum date were my favorite parts.   The book had so many filmy moments I loved it so much. I hated her sister though and that's my only complaint. I kinda wish Kareena went off on her but it's fine. Overall I enjoyed this very much.

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.

I LOVE representation and complex familial relationships AND loving aunties AND playing around with tropes. But there were a few things that mildly irked me including

I needed just a few more positive interactions between Kareena and the family, and would have appreciated just a little more interaction between Prem and his family.

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...
