Ugh guys this book is adorable.

“It was his damn fool heart. Ever optimistic, always looking for a sliver of sunshine in a sky clotted with thunderclouds.”

Honestly, this book just got me in the feels. I felt love and hurt and ambition and passion and anger and giggles. I'm done.

I don't think that I had a read a fiction about arranged marriage before this one. And I love Menon for giving me the chance. I love the complexity of culture and family and respect mixed in with being a teenager and 'fitting in' and choices and growing up.

“This is our life. We get to decide the rules. We get to say what goes and what stays, what matters and what doesn’t.”

I loved the food! I looooved all the nerdy stuff.

The only thing I didn't love was the predictability, but hey, you can't win them all. It still was an incredibly adorable book that made me fall in love and I am completely okay with that.
