Most of you read my reviews know what I’m exactly looking for when I start a steamy, hilarious romcom! But a lot of chemistry flies around and they work through their issues together and bam we have a cute love story! Prem, on the other hand, is still single because he lost someone in his life and doesn't believe in love. Kareena is still trying to date on apps and with people her aunties set her up with, but it's impossible to find someone genuine and who she could see herself with. I loved how Prem stood up for Kareen at the end and eventually, how her family came around to support her.

That’s why on the morning of her thirtieth birthday, she’s decided to suit up and enter the dating arena. I also strongly related to Rina and Prem's conversation about their connection to their immigrant family because I too am an immigrant and I love that there's this representation here. Right away, I loved how Kareena was career oriented and always striving to do better in her life whether that was fixing up her late mother’s home/ car, doing her best at her job, she was a strong minded woman. Even though I'm not Indian, I'm a daughter of immigrants and definitely found myself relating to Kareena.so the book starts off super cute, there are funny whatsapp family group texts, good south asian culture rep, the first time prem and rina meet (pls the way he didn't want to introduce himself as a doctor, so he says "i fix broken hearts" skjskskj). Why do Desi authors amplify this aspect of our culture, to the point where it feels like a caricature and mockery? To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I thought it was kind of hilarious the way Prem and Kareena met again after the failed fiasco at the restaurant and ultimately ended in a big argument at the studio where Prem filmed his show, “Dr.Bindu/ Dadi/ Rina's dad - I have a love/hate relationship with them because of how much they resemble my own family in the toxicity aspect (especially toxicity that stems from a thousand-year-old culture). But I’m telling you my friends this book so definitely different, special and if you’re fan like reading sexy, steamy, smart, entertaining, laugh out loud romance books and crave for ultra delicious Indian food, this book is match made in heaven for you! If this is what we got from the first book in Nisha Sharma's If Shakespeare was an Auntie series, I cannot wait for the next one!
