Shona felt her heart sink but quickly remembered that they couldn’t have moments like this. They were in a no-strings relationship. They shouldn’t be flirting with each other in what was perhaps the most romantic setting she had ever been to.

In a nutshell
Shona Shah’s life is already chaotic, with her obligation to her family business, her side hustle, messy apartment and casual relationship with childhood friend Senthil. Then she walks out of her family’s tailoring business and a whirlwind of humor, heartache and self-discovery unfolds.
Book Club Notes
This is a delightful local romcom that could go head to head with any international candy floss read. The writing may not be exceptional but it’s charming, sweet, and easy to read – everything a romcom should be. This is the first in a new series by Nivashni Nair Sukhdev and based on the first chapter teaser at the end of this book, I’d absolutely read number two.
