I loved it!! This was such a me-book.

This novella had two tropes I am so weak for:
▪️ she was supposed to be setting him up with other ladies but none of them compared to ✨her✨
▪️ she was about to accept another (very incompatible with her) man’s proposal and he was ✨jealous✨

She was his best friend’s sister—in the only way that I like it: no chauvinistic older brother, just lovely trust and family outings where these MCs really got to know each other. Plus, my favourite thing ever: the TED talk Author’s Note. I’m obsessed with the research that went into this Anglo-Indian hero. Did you know Persian was the lingua franca of parts of pre-colonial India? Because I sure didn’t

This was so immersive and it squeezed my heart. Highly recommend!
