Flirting With Disaster
by Naina Kumar
3.75 ⭐️ i loved naina kumar’s debut so i was really excited about flirting with disaster. i’m also a sweet home alabama lover so i enjoyed the idea of this fun twist on the classic!
the “before” portion of this story (while obviously brief) was really fun and made me love meena and nikhil. the “after” switched things up. i love love love nikhil through and through. he was such a wonderful character who was kind, sympathetic, and open to growth. he also clearly loved meena SO much.
“I love you,” he says, cradling my face in both of his palms. “I’ve never stopped. Never. I’ve never not been in love with you.”
i was up and down with meena. i loved that she was a woman following her dreams and aspiring to take on DC. she was confident and powerful and ready for success. HOWEVER. her repetitive switch ups and the way she treated nikhil so severely irked me. i know how second chance romance works, but she thought so little of him and constantly hurt his feelings for a large portion of the book. i’m happy this was a HEA of course but i felt like nikhil loved meena far more than meena truly loved him. maybe im wrong, that’s just how it came across. i think this took away some of the value for me and that is 100% a personal issue but i just got very agitated.
overall this was a past faced read, it was fun, and i did enjoy the premise very much. there were just a number of issues that kept me from fully loving this story. still a generally good story!
