This book goes down like hot chocolate on a cold winter's day. It's funny and heartwarming and will definitely brighten up your day.

Winnie's internal monologue and quips make for perfect company as you reel along with her Bollywood reference. The other characters are also amazingly endearing, spooling you into their story arcs.

I'm not someone who normally enjoys cheesy romance books or appreciates romantic clichés, but this book had me mesmerised from its very first pages. It's the exact form of lighthearted that brings back your will to live and reminds you to appreciate life
