A Holly Jolly Diwali by Sonya Lalli

2.0

Unfortunately this just didn't work for me. I can accept insta-love as a trope, but then there was very little development of the relationship until all of a sudden it's been a couple of weeks and they're both ready to declare their love to each other. There was no heat to it. If there had been a little heat or chemistry to their interactions, I wouldn't have minded it being basically no-spice. I thought it was interesting at first that Niki kept asking people what Diwali was all about, but she never does get a clear answer. And finally, based on Niki's maturity and the way she acted, she seemed more like a teenager than a 29 year old.
