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

Spoiler
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.

Food allergy/anaphylaxis description used as a casual plot point:Spoiler
Chapter 7 contains a moderately graphic description of anaphylaxis due to a food allergy occurring simultaneously with a panic attack, which happens as a result of a bad date.just_klaudia's review
