Arjun wants to believe in his star character and all things astrology so badly. Madhuri on the other hand doesn't believe in it at all. She wants to prove her's wrong and also proof her "family's love curse" wrong too. In order to do both, she enlists her best friend, Arjun, to fake date her with a set time to break up. Will she be able to prove the stars wrong? or will the pull be too strong?
I had a lot of high hopes for this read. I wanted to read it because the story involved fake dating. I was also excited about reading a story with a representation of Indian culture. I thought a lot of the story fell flat for me. I struggled to like either one of the characters. Like the story, they fell flat for me. They needed to be a little more fleshed out. One thing I did enjoy about the book was the inclusion of Indian culture. It was great seeing so many aspects of Indian culture throughout the story. That said, I think there is an audience for this book and many people can enjoy it. I do not regret reading it as it was a good concept and story, it just could have been done a little better.
