If you know me, you would know how much of a big cricket fan I am. And also I'm a big fan of Virat Kohli too. When I first saw the blurb for this book, I was so excited to read it. It's my first time reading a book with cricket in it and I loved it so much. Also knowing it was inspired by my favourite Australian cricketer, Glenn Maxwell and his wife, Vini. It made me even more excited. And add fake dating, small town, forced proximity and enemies to lovers tropes to the mix. It was just π
This was my first book by Aarti. V. Raman. And I devoured this book from start to finish. It was so good. I loved this book so much.
Queenie Madavan. The sassy desi girl. I love her so much. The way she was so strong and yet so vulnerable. Her insecurities are something so relatable to me. As a desi woman myself and the elder daughter, her confusion about her future, her sense of duty to her family was so understandable. And the way she stood for what was right. She was just amazing.
Noah Dumaine. OMG SWOON π€πΎπ€πΎ
The man was just everything. The charming boy who held so much pain in the inside. I resonated with everything he was feeling. And the way he was so protective over his closed ones. I love him so much.
Queenie & Noah were just everything. I love their dynamics. I love their banters. I loved that tension. They just had me giggling the whole time. They were a bit of insta - love with fake dating but it worked out perfectly in the end.
I loved the side characters too. They were a perfect blend to the story. And how they all became like one big found family.
The writing was good. And even though I felt like the story dragged a bit at times, I really did enjoy and liked it a lot.
I'm definitely excited to check out the others work by the author. π
