This Wild Catastrophe by Aarti V. Raman

4.0

emotional lighthearted slow-paced

---

I have never watched a Cricket match in my life and now I wanna see what all the hype is about!  This book had some of my favourite tropes and I loved every second of it.  While the story was mostly predictable, I still loved seeing Queenie and Noah's relationship progression.  I loved seeing a twist on my usual sports romance with a relatively unknown (for me) sport.  Queenie felt super relatable with her black-cat vibes and you can't help but fall for the Australian cricket god, Noah.  Their one-night stand turns into a PR disaster, resulting in a fake-dating, forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers situation.  Noah's roommates were a highlight for me and really helped round out the story.  Off to go find a cricket match online now!
