The Singles Table by Sara Desai
5.0

Okay, so I’ve had a copy of the second book in this series, The Dating Plan, sitting on my TBR shelf since I bought it when it first came out. I haven’t read the first book, but now I know I HAVE to go back and read both of them because I adored this one! It was so cute, and so fun, and so sweet! And definitely sexy as well!

There were so many parts from the very beginning that had me laughing out loud. I loved how just out there Zora was. How she didn’t hold anything back, and just talked, sometimes maybe more than she needed to, or should. And her clumsiness was perfect! But she was also so sarcastic that I could totally see myself hanging out with her! So there was a lot about her that I related to. Like the part about always being a bridesmaid, never the bride. Although I rarely got to even be a bridesmaid. But that’s a whole other issue for me, lol. And then she had a line about not knowing how to be loved in a romantic way. I definitely don’t think I know how to do that either. I’ve never really been in love, so I completely felt that line! Oh yeah, and the bouquet toss! I adore weddings, love the dancing, the food, the CAKE! But the bouquet toss, I hate being a single woman. In fact if I can, when I know it is coming up, I head to the restroom so people don’t bug me about going to try to catch the bouquet, or sometimes even drag me up there.

And then there was Jay. I definitely fell in love with him. I like how he felt his connection to Zara and realized he probably wanted more, even as she pushed him away, and at times he let her. I totally understood his reasoning though, especially with what his mom had been through. His dirty talk and innuendos were perfect as well. He would be my type of guy for sure!

I’m really enjoying all the books that are available now with lots of different cultures. I’ve never been to an Indian wedding, but I really would love to get to experience all of that. I’ve also never watched a Bollywood movie, but now I kind of want to. And I almost, probably still will, downloaded the song that Zara played to try to teach Jay to dance. Also, a pink and orange wedding sounds divine to me as those are my favorite colors!

I adored this book and hope to fit the other two into my reading schedule as soon as possible!
