A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev
DID NOT FINISH: 38%

Wow I hate this so much. I picked this up on a whim since the blurb sounded light and I needed a quick read. I was not expecting a super cringey, over the top, sexed up romance. First of all the main male character (Samir) is a sexist, macho jerk who solves problems by punching (if they're men) or "turning on the smoulder" (if they're women) 🤢 And the main female character (Mili) is a one dimensional, idealistic village girl, who is immediately put into a situation of being entirely dependent on Samir.  On top of the ridiculous plot and awful characters, the endless "he's so big, she's so small" is giving me an eye twitch. Finally, any author who consistently refers to a character's penis as "little sam" should put down the pen. Literally nothing could get me to pick up this author's work again.
