Beautiful cover drew me into this read which sounded interesting. A heroine caught between two different countries, India and Ireland.

The title and premise seemed to suggest a growth in Durga. It happened, I think but not to the point the reader will appreciate her journey.

Found scenes set in India as she interacts with her immediate family and potential much more intriguing than her relationship with the Irish siblings, Joy and Jacob. Not a fan of her treatment of Luke.

I adored this book - it is totally different from Disha Bose’s previous novel, which I also enjoyed, and I was impressed at her range. I found Durga’s growth inspiring and the ultimate message of self-love quite moving.

This book is a beautiful and heartfelt coming-of-age story that completely stole my heart. What I loved most about this book was how Durga evolves. Her transformation isn’t just about finding love, it’s about finding herself. The writing is so rich, and the emotional depth of this story really hit me. It’s a perfect balance of lighthearted moments and deeply reflective ones, making Durga’s journey of navigating different worlds feel both personal and universal. This is a story that reminds you of the power of choice, self-love, and the beauty in the mess of life. I absolutely loved reading it, and would highly be recommending it too.

Thank you Random House Publishing for the ARC.

I loved this book. Admittedly, I started it based off the title and cover only. I had no other context. However, the flow of the story and the character developments were great. It's fiction but has enough realistic elements that tap into certain emotions. I really enjoyed Durga's navigation of life after heartbreak. This was the type of read that I needed at this point in my life. I can't wait to read more from this author and to gift this book to some friends.

I enjoyed Bose's novel about what it means to be a woman anywhere in the world today. Her characters were well crafted, and the story was quick to get lost in. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!!

This uses the romance element that I was hoping for and enjoyed the overall feel of this type of book. The characters were everything that I was looking for and enjoyed the feel of them in this world. I enjoyed the way Disha Bose wrote this and am excited for more.
