of the cute romcoms i’ve listened to, this is one of the better ones. i liked that the characters were emotionally mature (mostly lmao it’s still a romcom) and actually talked about their problems. it wasn’t perfection but it was fun! the ending felt a touch rushed and definitely wished some of the minor characters were fleshed out more but it isn’t anything to dnf over. definitely would listen to again.

fmc is indian and faces misogyny and micro aggressions in and out of the workplace in the form of sexual harassment and a minor character saying “i guess you’re pretty for an indian girl”. no inkling of racism or fetishism ever comes from mmc.
