I had such a fantastic time listening to this audiobook!

Nisha Sharma is one of my favorite authors and she did such a fantastic job writing this new adult story of mystery and endless love. This premise was so much fun to read and I loved learning that it was in dedication to the Bollywood films that Nisha used to watch and Mr. Darcy's love letter that he wrote Lizzy in Pride and Prejudice.

I loved the juxtaposition between Ravi and Jesse's relationship in the present with the star crossed lovers' relationship in the past. The use of the love letters between chapters was a welcome break in the action and I loved how it furthered the plot. I loved hearing about the struggles of the pair as an interracial couple in the 70s and how despite the odds they persevered for their love. I will say that Ravi and Jesse's story was a little insta lovey; however, it felt extremely realistic and authentic of their contrasting upbringing and familial expectations. I loved that Ravi was passionate about writing and how he was trying to break the familial expectations that his father was laying on his shoulders.

This was just the perfect, short love story that I needed. I felt that the audio narration was so engaging and a perfect vessel to amplify Nisha's writing! That ending truly made my heart so happy and I loved the connection that was made!

If I had one criticism, I just wish it was a little bit longer:)

Thank you Nisha Sharma and Netgalley for this audiobook in exchange for my honest review!

I am always a big fan of Nisha Sharma's books and this was no exception! I believe this is the first YA book of here that I've read and I really enjoyed it! I love the focus on the characters, but the plot was also engaging! I love romances with an element of a mystery to be solved!
