Loved & Devoured it ♥️

Pick it if you want to read how a forced fake dating changes into forever between a chef & weeding planner ʘ⁠‿⁠ʘ

This book has everything I love : An absolutely one hundred percent cute & adorable rom com with so much Indian-ness (is that even a word :p)

Tanvi is so beautifully written from being so confident, independent, afraid of being loved & to love someone. And her vibe radiates so much energy throughout the pages. It's difficult not to fall for her, she just makes you do just by being herself ♡⁠˖⁠꒰⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠⑅⁠꒱

Nik, he is every one's dream boyfriend. OMG he was literally everything. Like everything. He was so considerate & caring. The way he turned his trauma & pain around makes us fall for him more. In every chapter he just keeps on increasing the standards. The way he loves is perfection in other words. He was an absolute delight ♥️

Tanvi & Nik's relationship was so fun to read. They travel from: the way they both get to know each other piece by piece, delving into their own insecurities & trauma & finally having the love they both deserve is heart yearning to read yet so vulnerable to experience. 

Nik, falls first that's no doubt but the way he keeps just falling her made my heart ache for him. He just knew in his heart & soul that she was the one (⁠✿⁠ ⁠♡⁠‿⁠♡⁠)

The book talks about lots of sensitive topics, the writing was great in a way it just makes you travel with all the emotions displayed. & It just brings so much warmth to the story. 

Food just makes everything better, another reason this book will have special place with me 🌼

Apart from that, all the other aspects of the book, was perfect.

Be it Tanvi's relationship with her brothers, was so relatable for me (even though I have sisters). Their bond just has my whole heart literally!

I loved every single character, be it Tanvi's & Nik's  friends, deepu, & their family. They were beautifully portrayed each having so much love & vulnerabilities. I ended up falling for them all, & in whole for the book 💛

And Match maker for the win, more love to Ruk 🧡

Ordered her other two books too :)
