I absolutely loved this book! What a wonderful debut for author Naina Kumar.
When Meghna's best friend/secret crush suddenly tells her she's engaged and asks her to be his best man, she will do anything to make it seem like she's moved on. She'll even agree to her parents finding her a husband the old matchmaking way. Luckily for Meghna, Karthik is tired of his parents hounding him about marriage and so the two decide to enter into a mutually beneficial fake engagement. These two couldn't be more opposite in nature and yet somehow they find comfort and support in each other, breaking down each other's walls and assumptions and discovering that maybe what they have been faking is better than what they thought they wanted.
I just love these 2 together! This was such a fun and cute read and I really liked the way the concept of arranged marriage was handled. I can't wait to read more from Naina.
