Book Review:
Rating: 3.5/5
I have read Simi’s books in the past and enjoyed them. Like her previous books,
this one also has Indian arranged marriage in the mix but unlike the previous
books, this is a Wedding Story!
The cover is beautiful and reminded me of the fun and happiness that comes when
I attend a wedding in India. The blurb is interesting and instantly peaks our
interest.
The plot is interesting and had great potential. The execution is entertaining
but the story left so many questions behind in my mind. So many story lines
were hinted at and then never developed which left questions in my mind like it
is told that Mili’s father is struggling to keep his business and Mili is
determined to help her father but nothing is later elaborated on it neither is
it mentioned in the story again. Then Mili’s friends’ angle is also hinted at
but then left hanging and so on.
