I feel like this book published too late considering her rise to fame was short lived. I liked the book but again, I had forgotten about the show entirely until I read this book after seeing it on NetGalley.

I quickly binged “Indian Matchmaker” on Netflix and recalled Aparna as a standout character. In this book, it was interesting to see the behind-the-scenes reality of her filming experience in addition to the power of editing, which admittedly can be easy to forget sometimes. I appreciate her vulnerability in sharing her insecurities and real life adjustments after the show. It was a quick read, although a bit repetitive at times. 3.5 stars ⭐️. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the advanced copy for review. I’m rooting for you, Aparna!

I have never heard of the author nor watched her show. I like to read about strong women who take control of their lives. I just couldn’t connect with the author nor her story. This book was a miss for me/

She's Unlikeable??? Hardly. I was wanting to be her bff within the first chapter. I binged the show when during my short time at home during Covid and she wasn't my favorite but this book has completely changed my mind.

She does a fantastic job of making the whole shooting process entertaining to read and shares her life in a candid but concise way. It was one of the better biographies I've read.

Keep on being you, Aparna!
