This book! It was sooo cute, full of culture, and full of character growth ✨

We follow Reema Patel, a 35-year old divorcee who's life revolves around work and clearing off the debt from her ex. She had mentioned to her family she was dating someone to get them off her back and now she's attending her sister's wedding. Which means she needs a date for it and is running out of time. 

Jake Coleman is her work rival. They're fighting for an incentive at work and Reema is so far in the lead, it must infuriate him. Yet, out of nowhere, he's offered to be her wedding date.

I enjoyed their story sooo much and Coleman is just *chefs kiss~

Enemies to lovers, fake dating at a wedding party, forced proximity, slow burn, all the good tropes 🀩

Thank you to Sookh Kaur for the free ARC copy in exchange for an honest review 🩷
