This was a really interesting book full of cultural pieces that I haven’t seen much of in this genre. I have to say while fake dating is one of my favorite tropes I didn’t think it totally worked here. This book had two best friends, one with unrequited feelings and the other determined she could never have feelings for her best friend. Their fake relationship didn’t even last through their first date. Arjun was a good character and I felt for him, but I still wished he got a bit more development. I liked what we did get of his backstory. Madhuri was a bit more complicated of a character for me. She seemed a bit all over the place and not as well developed as she could be. Overall I thought the story was cute and I loved the part about the astrological mappings of destiny. It was something I didn’t know anything about and was so interesting to me. Overall I gave this one 3.5 stars rounded up for the fun experience of getting a glimpse of Indian culture.
