What can I say...I adore anything Alisha Rai writes. 🥰
This book gave us a fast paced second chance romance with mystery, learning from your past, and finding where you fit. 💜
Mira and Naveen had been each other's first matches through the community favorite matchmaker Hema Auntie...after six amazing months together Mira panicked and broke up with Naveen via text. 😳
Now years later, multiple failed matches, and the loss of her aunt...Mina is feeling hopeless and alone. When she goes to hear her aunts will the last person she expected to see was Naveen.
After Mira broke his heart...Naveen dealt with his own share of challenges. The last place he ever expected to see Mira again was at his grandfather's practice...and why was she using a different name?!
Mira and Naveen were so easy to understand, connect to, and cheer for. Two sweet people who've dealt with their fair share of family betrayal, heartache, and pain. Both so caught up in the past that they seemly fail to fully appreciate the connections they still have.
I do wish the last 1/4 of the book was a bit longer and the first half slightly shorter but overall I really enjoyed this story.
