I received an advanced copy of this book via netGalley from Berkley Publishing Group.

I loved this. What an interesting take on pushing back on arranged marriages. What seems like an archaic system, turned out to make a strong marriage, and the union that was chosen became one of comfort, not desire.

It was very interesting to watch Simran become more introspective on her life, as she moved away from the comfortable life she was living. How she realized that her chosen partner was not fulfilling, and might not be as supportive and stimulating as she desired, and more like the arranged marriages she was determined not to have.

I enjoyed the dual voices of both Simran and her mother. To see what drove her mother to be the person she is and how she made the decisions she did to drive her daughter.
