I was initially drawn to this book because Richa was in NHIE and I love her acting/voice. This was a super cute south Asian romcom that was informative, funny and lighthearted. I laughed a bit throughout and loved the nods to Indian-American culture. It was very easy to read this in a day and I think I’ll check out some other works by this author since this one was so fun!
