I wanted to rate this higher bc overall I did really enjoy this book. I loved the representation of Indian diaspora culture, the accurate depiction of dating apps, and the food descriptions. But that being said, this book needed a better editor. I can usually get past a few typos/errors but this book had many and it really took me out of the story. They were small but still bothered me - stuff like "Johnnie Black Label" but it's Johnnie Walker Black Label, or getting a song title wrong in the Taylor Swift playlist at the end of the book, or inconsistencies like stating a character sits down even though, according to the page before, they were already sitting. Some of the writing also felt clunky to me, and I expect that to happen in the parts where diaspora culture is explained but I don't expect it to feel clunky in the romance aspect of the book. The resolution also felt very rushed. Overall an enjoyable read but could have been so much better

I had a great time reading this book! I love the aunties! It was so well written. The characters tackle tough topics beautifully. It's full of humor. I laughed so much reading this. Kareena is turning thirty. When she goes out to celebrate with her friends she meets the man of her dreams until he deserts her. Prema doesn't believe in love. He believes in proper medicine and chemistry.  When he discusses this on the Dr. Dil Show he is ambushed by the women he left unexpectedly the night before. Great read!

This book was the true definition of a rom-com to me. There was the perfect balance of spice and humor and emotion and I truly cannot wait to pick up the second book in the series. I think Nisha Sharma might've just turned into an auto-buy author for me!!

(little spoilery section about the spicy scenes below!!)

So, the only thing I really had qualms with in this book was the sex scenes. At certain times, they felt a little fanfiction-y to me. They weren't bad necessarily, it just felt kind of like I was reading something on Wattpad in a way. Oh yeah, also she named his d!ck for some reason? I will never look at another person named Charlie the same way again 🫣

It was fun but if a man ever refers to his penis as “Charlie” I am running for the hills as fast as I can
