Flirting With Disaster
by Naina Kumar
Desi Sweet Home Alabama that is as much a second-chance romance between a progressive activist and the red state that raised her as it is a second-chance romance between the estranged leads.
For me, once the main character acknowledges the feelings she’s been suppressing (badly), the book becomes sort of generic, which is disappointing after such a strong premise and a really great start. The first half is as sad and full of yearning as your favorite Emily Henry novel, and it’s refreshing to witness the woman in a straight romance novel taking the slightly more dominant/aggressive sexual role. I didn’t love it, but I did like it.
