• this book put me in a reading slump because it was so strangely paced and everything about the romance was so obvious that the book felt like 80% literary fiction
  • why did everything in their relationship speed up in the last 5% like I get the point trying to be proved but
    marriage
    was doing too much
• literally did not care for any characters
  • I don't know if Preeti was just bland, or if I need dual POV books to understand what the guy sees in the girl, but literally what did Daniel see in Preeti
  • I was impartial to Daniel he was okay but he had no flaws so he was too perfect, apart from the fact that he was definitely love-bombing Preeti with
    the house and everything else
• I did think the exploration of familial piety was good
• the most unrealistic part of the book, coming from an Asian, was the fact that any of Preeti's elders/family understood and comprehended the RANTS she was going on about in English 🤣
