A Holly Jolly Diwali by Sonya Lalli
3.0
This is the kind of novel that’s good for those who want a no-stakes, no-burn romance.
The romance just happened and honestly was delusionally-intense from our main character. I hate to admit but this main character had no distinct personality (which psychologically makes sense for someone with strong people-pleasing tendencies due to cultural/parental expectations), and although I can relate to being a hopeless romantic, boy was that solely her personality. Relationship dynamics with other characters to the main character were weak, and speaking of other characters, their personalities weren’t that greatly outlined either,
Would’ve been a DNF if not for a rom-com book club.
