Nisha Sharma is very talented and I look forward to her other books.

So, the only thing I really had qualms with in this book was the sex scenes. At certain times, they felt a little fanfiction-y to me. They weren't bad necessarily, it just felt kind of like I was reading something on Wattpad in a way. Oh yeah, also she named his d!ck for some reason? I will never look at another person named Charlie the same way again 🫣Graphic: Cursing, Grief, and Sexual content

the one that basically poisoned her with cinnamon when she specifically asked for no cinnamon because she's allergic, and he ignores that and gets her cinnamon anyway and all he could say was no normal person doesn't like cinnamon and she'll like it if she tried it, ugh just pissed me off, she was so lucky that Prem was there as she didn't have her EpiPen with her and Prem was able to rush her to a doctor, and then of course there's the misogynistic asshole that was the last date she had, saying she should lower her standards because of how she dresses and basically saying that she'd look prettier if she wore more makeup, just no absolutely not and I'm glad she held onto her standards and didn't settle for anything less than she deservesOther than some of her dates and her dad, grandmother, and sister, I really liked pretty much everyone else. I absolutely loved Kareena's aunties, Kareena's friends, Prem's friends, Prem's mother, and I actually liked Prem as well, even if he's frustrating when it comes to his feelings most of the time.
There were a few things that pulled me out of the story a time or two, but it wasn't enough to get me to stop reading. It just brought my rating down a little bit.
I'd most likely recommend this if someone asked me about it. It was definitely an entertaining read overall.

At her sisters engagement party Prem actually stands up for Kareena and tells her family off for treating her so badly. Her sister of course gets some misogyny thrown at her and not actual criticism of her selfish behaviour and Prem tells Kareenas father how he doesn’t value her in any way especially because of the issues around his retirement and him wanting to sell the house Kareena wants so badly. And what does her father do? Of course give her the house! I’m happy for this fictional character getting her fictional house but you know what I would have liked more? Kareenas father listening to his daughters wishes and giving her her mothers house that she loves so much and appreciating having someone in his life that values and will keep the memory of his dead wife alive. But no only when a man tells him what to do he does it. I just can’t…Graphic: Misogyny and Sexism
