I absolutely adored this book! I loved the first book in the series, The Art of Taking Second Chances, and was so excited to hear that the author had written book 2. It did not disappoint.
I enjoyed Mihir and Sona’s non-traditional relationship arc. Both have been burned before, but can’t seem to stay away from each other. Like Tara and Sameer, Sona and Mihir felt like real people with multifaceted personalities. They don’t always make the best decisions, but it’s understandable for their characters why they make the choices that they do. Sona is an absolute queen and I was rooting for her and Mihir to have their HEA.
Varsha Chitnis always injects a healthy dose of Indian culture, language, and food into her books, and I always appreciate learning more about various cultures. I’m looking forward to book 3!
