🌟 Book Review: “Marriage & Masti” by Nisha Sharma 🌟

There’s something truly special about a romance series finale, and Marriage & Masti by Nisha Sharma delivers magic. As the third book in her Shakespeare-inspired rom-com series, based on Twelfth Night, this story was everything I hoped for and more. As a long-time fan of the series, watching Veera and Deepak circle each other through the previous books built so much anticipation, and their story did not disappoint.

Fake dating/fake marriage can be tricky to pull off in a modern setting, but Nisha Sharma nails it. The balance of South Asian traditional values with contemporary influences is beautifully executed, creating a perfect blend that feels authentic and relatable. I’ve been invested in Veera and Deepak’s relationship for so long, and seeing them finally come together was incredibly satisfying. I also loved watching the evolution of the women’s relationships throughout the trilogy—something that felt so real to my own life.

This is a beautiful conclusion to a wonderful series, and if you haven’t picked it up yet, I highly recommend diving into this delightful world.

So extremely interesting and detailed. Very good at painting an entire picture of the events leading up to the trails and the aftermath.

This was a fun cozy mystery. There were a lot of plots going around and I had trouble keeping up with the characters but I did enjoy it.
