Fiction. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:In this witty and heartfelt rom-com debut for fans of Jasmine Guillory, Emily Henry, and Tessa Bailey, an Indian American woman signs herself and her boyfriend up for a matchmaking site to prove they're a perfect match, only to be paired with her ex instead.
High school sweethearts Rita Chitniss and Milan Rao were the golden couple, until the day he broke her heart. Now, six years later, Rita has turned her passion for furniture restoration into a career and has an almost-perfect boyfriend, Neil. The last thing she needs is for Milan to re-enter her life, but that's exactly what happens when her mother, an unfailing believer in second chances, sets them up. Milan is just as charming, cocky, and confident as he was back in school. Only this time, he actually needs her business expertise, not her heart, to flip a hard-to-sell house for his realty agency. 
 
While Rita begrudgingly agrees to help, she's not taking any risks. To prove she's definitely over him, she signs herself and Neil up on MyShaadi.com, a Desi matchmaking site famous for its success stories and trustworthy enough to convince everyone that she and Neil are the new and improved couple. Instead, she's shocked when MyShaadi's perfect match for her isn't Neil...it's Milan. Ignoring the website and her mother is one thing, but ignoring Milan proves much more difficult, especially when she promises to help him renovate the beach house of her dreams. And as the two of them dive deeper into workâ??and their pastsâ??Rita begins to wonder if maybe her match wasn't so wrong after a

Definitely one of the best desi Romances I've ever read ! I loved the fact that being desi wasn't highlighted as the main personality trait for any character. The amount of secondhand embrassment that this book gave me is crazy and I'm definitely here for it !
Loved it ! Overall 4.5/5 ( )

Rita and Milan were #CoupleGoals... but that was 6 years ago... Add a meddling mother and a second chance is now a possibility... Except Rita has the perfect boyfriend in Neil...

I loved Rita, but wasn't as big of a fan of this "love triangle". The battle between the heart and the head is definitely difficult. Either way, I loved the writing and the laughs. I can't wait to see what Lillie Vale writes next. ( )

I have been reading a bunch of romance books from dark, comedy, to rom coms. Thus I was excited to pick up this book and read it. Sadly, this book did not do anything for me. The diversity of the characters was nice but that was about it.

I found myself at first liking this book but then something changed and I found myself disconnecting with the characters. In turn, I lost interest in the story as a whole. The chemistry between Rita and Milan was fine. A rom com romance but slow paced. Yet, I found their voices to be quiet versus more prominent. Although, I did not care for this book does not mean that another reader won't like it. So, do give it a try. ( )
