Thanks to Bold Stroke Books and Netgalley for a copy of this book.

Bindi travels to India to visit her family, including her cousin, Dhona, and his wife, Rimli. Bindi soon learns that Dhona is a womaniser who constantly cheats on Rimli; when his behaviour gets too much, Rimli seeks comfort in Bindi's arms.

I didn't like how Bindi didn't have one single positive thing to say about India, her family's country. I understand her critiquing aspects of it such as the huge inequality, but this felt really over done.

None of the characters felt like real people, as there's no real characterisation, we never get to actually know any of these people. Therefore the whole romance fell flat, can't root for a romance if you don't get to know the people.

This reads like a rough draft of a book that could have been something with more time, padding and editing.
