ladybellatrix 's review for:
A Bollywood Affair
by Sonali Dev
Mili was married as a child to a man she has been waiting 20 years to come and get her.
Samir has to go to America to find her and make her sign an annulment for his brother, wanting out of the marriage that took place when they were children.
My main issue with this book was the characters. I didn't like either of the main protags.
Mili just seemed unjustifiably irrational and eye roll worthy, taking a man at his word and never questioning him, despite of the situation they fall into. Probably because he's lyke sooooo hawt.
Samir is...a dickhead. Just, nothing redeeming about him, even if he's supposed to be gorgeous and a good cook, it doesn't make up for the way he talks about most of the women who aren't related to him or Mili. He just doesn't seem like a prize.
Not to mention that all the time Samir (asshole) is with her, he knows about her situation and takes advantage of her naivety and basically shits all over her trust. But you know HAWT, so it doesn't matter.
Honestly, I wanted this to be a fun, Bollywood-esque drama, but at least those are entertaining. This wasn't.

Spoiler
I also had issues with the way that their relationship progressed, from Mili considering Samir open and honest despite him lying to her, and after 4 weeks (I think?) of knowing each other and lying to each other, we're supposed to be convinced this is a love story?Not to mention that all the time Samir (asshole) is with her, he knows about her situation and takes advantage of her naivety and basically shits all over her trust. But you know HAWT, so it doesn't matter.
