Two Houses by Suleena Bibra

3.0

A charming romance book debut from Suleena Bibra!

This childhood rival to lovers book is a fun read. I adore the moments when Priya and Gavin are together. It’s fun to read how they eventually realize how much they have in common than their differences. I like the family dynamic in this story, especially with Priya’s case where familial loyalty, traditions, and seniority factor so much into how it built Priya’s character and her reasoning to break away from it – especially with her capabilities and hard work. It’s a very relatable theme.

Throughout the book, you’ll read about how much Priya “hates” Gavin, and yet can’t seem to stop herself commenting on his looks, character, and accolades. While I see it as a hint to her true feelings, it does feel like a significant amount.

Overall, I enjoyed this book with its delightful characters, swoony moments, and funny banter!

Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin – Carina Press, and the author for the e-ARC!
