I really enjoyed this book. It was such a cute friends-to-lovers story that was giving early 2000s romcom vibes. The Dual POV was great to get to know both of the main characters and learning about their developing relationship. I loved Jia’s matchmaking attempts even though she could sometimes be a little bit stubborn and Jaiman’s cooking and his cocktail creations sounded delicious. Jia’s experiences with being single were so relatable and it was great to read a romcom with such a strong female character. The side characters were also so loveable (go Manoj) and I loved that there were strong female friendships .

The one thing I didn’t enjoy too much was the miscommunication/lack of communication sometimes (though it fit the early 2000s romcom vibes) but that is also just a personal preference.

I would definitely recommend this book if you are in the mood for a cute romance with strong (but stubborn) MCs and loveable side characters.
