A really lovely end to the Rajes series. Out of all four of these books, I think this one is the least grounded in Austen (it truly is a loose, loose adaptation), but it's really cute and fun. Vansh is by far my favorite of the siblings. I loved that the dynamic was gender-flipped, though I wish there had been more of a Vansh and Naina having been friends before they got romantically tangled (but I guess given that Naina was in her whole mess of a relationship with his brother, I get why it's written this way. I think this is the funniest of the series, with Vansh getting most of the best lines. 

Personally felt like the Esha - Sid B-plot should have been a novella or, like, an extra at the end of the book (I think just having them get together and have a bunch of hints would have been a stronger Jane Fairfax - Frank Churchill vibes that Dev was going for with them), but other than that, a fun ride.
