First Comes Like by Alisha Rai

4.0

---

Beauty expert and influencer Jia Ahmed has her eye on the prize: conquering the internet today, the entire makeup industry tomorrow, and finally, finally proving herself to her big opinionated family. She has little time for love, and even less time for the men in her private messages—until the day a certain international superstar slides into her DMs, and she falls hard and fast.
There’s just one wrinkle: he has no idea who she is.

Due to some complications, Dev and Jia begin a faux romance to trick Jia's family. what they don’t foresee is the untold drama that enfolds because of their plan.

I loved this book! The characters in it, the storyline, Dev!!!! It was great! It was the perfect mix of sweet and cute. A great romance read for February.

Jia’s character was so charismatic and likable. I fell into a friendship with her immediately as I began to read. I couldn’t stop rooting for her, her happiness, and her success. While there wasn’t a ton of steam to this one I thought it was romantic and funny. There were parts I laughed out loud.

There was a decent amount of drama that kept me interested and further wanting to read. I loved the concept of faux romance to real romance and all the cultural aspects of this story. Also, the family dynamics were spot on especially between Jia and her sisters. I love to read stories about sister relationships since I have a sister of my own.
I think there was depth to this book and worth the read!

I am so happy to have been able to have the opportunity to read and review this title.
