This book was such a fun read - I finished it in a day and couldn’t put it down! There were a few things that made me cringe a bit (examples: Prem always calling Kareena “Rina, honey”; Prem’s references to Charlie), but they weren’t bad enough to turn me off of the book. I was rooting for Prem and Kareena to get together from start to finish, which I think is a good sign for a romantic comedy novel. At times I found Kareena’s views about love to be a bit naive for a 30-year old accomplished lawyer. I also thought it was a bit rushed that all of a sudden Prem could tell Kareena he loved her because his mom explained how their family engaged in non-verbal communication about love instead of saying it outright. Prem can’t actually be that dense right? I am excited for the future books in this series, and I hope we get to hear more about Prem and Kareena’s friends!

This was an anticipated release for me that I really wanted to like. Engagement of convenience, yes please! But, I wasn't feeling the romance, & Prem is to blame. I just...he was too pushy and uncompromising. It was always his way or the highway. I do like the opposite views on love trope, but I wasn’t feeling Prem’s philosophy on love here. Kareena spent so much of the book debating whether she wanted to fake date him. Her reasons for NOT were completely valid, but her hesitancy & his pushiness throughout was a frustrating dynamic. Also, I would have loved to know more about her. Yes, I know this is a romance which is the focus of the story, but, I just wanted more of Kareena that wasn't all about Prem. And all the mentions of Charlie were just not it for me. Still, looking forward to more from this If Shakespeare was an Auntie series
