This book is the #2.5 in series - the published order “is not right”, once we already have Sweetie and Ashish together in this one; a simple fact that changes a lot of surprises if you haven't already read the second book.
This short chapter just proof that the love we can develop for the Patel brothers is almost unmeasurable and I can read about them forever - as I said before a huge spotlight on Ashish and his smoulder smile. Also, we have to face again Dimple's infuriating doubt about being with Rishi, a little frustrating despite the huge importance and cuteness displayed in the end duo that doubt and unnecessary sorrow they have to pass through (although, I highly agree that getting married on 19 is too soon for all human beings in the world - even with the love of your life).
I cannot wait to read 10 things I hate about Pinky - it sounds like a crossover or a retelling about 10 things I hate about you and we are deeply in love with that movie - (a.ka. in a Shakespeare time) and the taming of the shrew as well.
This was cute enough and I loved revisiting the characters. I'm also usually a sucker for proposals but something about the one in this book didn't sit right with me. I was already apprehensive about all the marriage discussion at the age of 19 and found Rishi pushing it a little too much; and then when the proposal happened, it felt like Dimple had to compromise on her convictions to keep their relationship. So, I don't think I'm completely happy with this short story.
