Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group for the ARC of this book. Overall, I enjoyed it and thought it was a sweet love story. Even though it wasn't my favorite, there were parts of it I liked a lot.

The story takes place in Mumbai.
Jia is a twenty something, who works at magazine as a romance columnist while writing a blog about matchmaking on the side. She dreams of taking her matchmaking full time. Her childhood best friend, Jaiman owns a pub that is struggling to stay afloat and has secretly been in love with Jia for decades. The "will they? Won't they?" pretty much takes the entire book and for me it was too slow of a burn. The love story was still cute and I would consider other books by this author.

A beautiful debut by Swati Hegde that had me squealing through the whole thing. The characters were love able and it was so easy to root for them, even when they were completely adorably clueless when it came to love. Think Emma but with a distinctly Desi vibe- something we definitely need to see more representation of in American book publishing. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and I can’t wait to see more of Hegde’s work.

This book was so good! The writing was so addictive. I loved the setting so much. The romance was so cute and I absolutely loved it.
