I read the first book in this series so long ago that I didn't remember much of the prior interactions between Bobbi and Bunty (which start in book 1) so I wish that the beginning of this book had built up their relationship a bit more. Once we got into their relationship though they had a good dynamic and some good banter (mostly over text tho cause Bunty is often on the west coast for business). I loved how Bunty was always feeding Bobbi, making sure she ate well (food as a love language).
Bobbi is planning her bff's Desi wedding (Kareena and Prem from book 1) and Bunty is friends with the couple as well. But someone is trying to sabotage the wedding and Bobbi is dealing with all these mishaps along the way. This story line added a bit to the book, but it was also a tad silly in places. Both Bobbi and Bunty are next in line to family businesses (one wants that and the other does not) and so they are often dealing complex family dynamics related to that.
Spice: 4/5, kink positive

Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Fatphobia and Racism
Minor: Body shaming and Death of parent
Bobbi is fat but very comfortable in her body and Bunty loves it as well. But Bobbi refers to past instances when she's been fat/body shamed
