Super cute romance that spoke to the importance of family. Daisy’s Indian family was all in each other's business while Liam’s family was struggling to connect after the death of his grandfather. As someone with a large extended family, I can feel Daisy’s complicated mix of love and frustration for her well-meaning but overbearing Aunties.

The romance was simple and the families were complicated. I love that Daisy was a nerdy girl starting to discover life outside of a computer screen. I appreciated that Daisy’s growing confidence was happening before Liam dropped back into her life. Yes, his presence was a confidence boost, but she was already heading in that direction. 

As a last note, be prepared to be hungry while reading this book. Everyone is constantly eating freshly made Indian food which the author describes in exquisite detail.
