Flirting With Disaster is the perfect novel for lovers of the forced proximity trope and second chance romance! This book also had elements of small town charm which I loved! Meena and Nikhil's reunion is both messy and perfect. The tension created by the storm forces their chemistry to reignite. I was tuned in! Specifically with Meena, I loved how she took the chance to follow her heart despite the pressures from the outside world. It allowed her to listen to Nikhil's wants and needs, ultimately leading to Nikhil to do the same. As someone who finds it hard to ask for help, I could relate to how Nikhil felt he had to carry the world on his shoulders to support his loved ones. I did feel the conversations between them were going around in circles, leaving room for miscommunication, which I was not a fan of. But self-discovery isn't perfect, so I appreciated their communication's imperfect elements.
