Kismat Connection follows Madhuri and Arjun, lifelong friends who enter into an experiment to prove that Madhuri can outwit fate. Family legend decrees that the first person Madhuri dates will be her lifelong partner. Madhuri is determined to use the scientific method to prove fate wrong. Enter Arjun, who has kept his feelings about Madhuri secret. After all, Madhuri’s family has given him a second home which he's afraid to lose. As their relationship progresses, Madhuri and Arjun grow closer than ever before. What happens when the experiment is over? 

Kismat Connection is full of classic fake dating tropes which readers will love. I love how Madhuri and Arjun both had such a deep connection to their culture, especially Arjun. I enjoyed that while it takes Madhuri some time to regain her connection to her culture after a severe bullying incident, Arjun and her friends help her regain her confidence. Kismat Connection is a warm, sweet romance with intricate characters. Fans of the  tv show Never Have I Ever will love this book!! Readers who enjoy The Love Match (Priyanka Taslim), To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before (Jenny Han), and Boys I Know (Anna Garcia) definitely need to check this book out.
