BOOK REVIEW: THE SHAADI SET-UP BY LILLIE VANCE

⭐⭐⭐

TROPES

Second Chance

Miscommunication

This is my second Lillie Vale book this month, and it was a fun ride. Rita is a carpenter that refurbished old furniture. She’s pretty set in her life, though is struggling with how to introduce her family to her current boyfriend, Neil, due to their parents’ tangled past. All of that changes when Milan, her high school sweetheart, comes back into the picture.

I will say, there was nothing making me root against Neil originally. Shout out to the author for subtly adding the breadcrumbs as we went along. That was a welcome change, since I feel like most of the time the reader is poised from the start to hate the not-endgame romantic interest. It was great to watch as Rita realized what she wanted in life, and how Neil wasn’t the way to get that for her. They didn’t go out in a bad way, which was a breath of fresh air.

While I enjoyed watching Rita and Milan reconnect, especially because it is forced by their parents, I do think the miscommunication was misplaced. It ultimately didn’t add anything to the story. I think the character growth could’ve been achieved without it, and honestly, it may have packed more of a punch. It would’ve added a bit more to both characters and how they’ve changed over the last six years to hold firm in those previous decisions and not write it off as a miscommunication. ‘

With the setting of North Carolina, this felt like a great way to get my adult fix of The Summer I Turned Pretty, with the beach house and teen love interests reconnecting later in life.

IPKKND S:1 Episode-2

Hey, you guys, did you miss me?

Kidding, I know nobody is reading these.

But if someone does in the future. Hi, cutie! I hope you're having fun.

Okay, then let's start with the second episode of Iss Pyar ko kya naam doon

Back at the meet cute.

My girl looks like she is about to cry.

Oh my, the disgust on his face.

He literally slammed her on the stage and not a in a good way. You know what I mean😏

And now they are dragging her away as if she attacked their boss.

Oooh the veil under his feet. What an imagery.

Man, Sanaya Irani looks sooo pretty.

The wedding is still going on?

How long has it been? Khushi stepped out when it was still daylight and now it's basically night.

What the fuck? Did they just locked her into a room?!

Is that what they do to models for not doing their job properly.

So, he thinks that she was sent by a rival company. That's seem dumb and probable at the same time.

This must be so traumatizing for Khushi. To be locked in a room for no reason and being accused of something you have nothing to do with when you know you need to be at home.

Shit! The mother connected the dots. Khushi needs to hurry up, I smell drama.

But also where are the dukaan ke papers? It's clearly not with Khushi. Where did you left them girl? Don't tell me she will lose them.

Oh he came to interrogate her himself.

He looks terrifying af combined with the predatory walk.

Dude, it's not her fault. You should ask your designer.

"Galti bhi aukaat dekh kar karni chahiye thi" Boy you did not. Shut the fuck up and shove that God complex up your ass.

Actually, I like the tension of this scene.

What the fuck do you mean "Ek jaayega dusra phasa lena" Why would you even comment on her sister's character, she is not even here.

"Batameezi to maine abhi shuru bhi nahi kari hai" Boy what?

*Gasp*

Oh he did not just do that! HE DID NOT!!

The disrespect!

Okay, girl there was no need to cover it up with your hair. Your back was already exposed before.

So, he is just gonna let her leave? What happened to the jawab he wanted. He just wanted to harrass my girl. What a fucking asshole.

Yay! Shaadi toot gayi. Congratualations!

I can't with these fucking neighbors.

Oh no the drama waiting to happen at home, once Khushi arrives.

Who is this lady? Constantly ordering around the house anyway. Shut up!

Is the sister gonna tell the truth?

She's back. Don't tell me they are gonna disown her or something.

What are these neighbours still doing in their house. Get the fuck out, the wedding ordeal is done, bitches.

Oh, the mom's walking up to her. Is a slap incoming?

"Tum thik ho?" Aww! that's her first question. What sweet people!

Ughh, who is this aunty? I hate her.

I love her dad though, he is handling this very calmly.

i know she took the papers because it was necessary for the plot but was it necessary for their plan. Couldn't they have just called the groom and asked whether he was in it.

Oh the mother is upset.

So Khushi is adopted. That's such a shitty statement to drop. Who is this lady anyway. The father calls her jiji so is she Khushi's Bua. Bua ji ki apni koi family nahi hai kya? Yaha kyu rehti hai. God, I hate her soo much.

Oh the mother pulled off an Amitabh Bachchan from K3G.

Agreed! Sis is talking sense, the groom was definitely in on it.

"Tujhse saga humara koi nahi hai" Why are these people the sweetest 😭

Oh girl what are you doing? This is definitely a mislead but what she gonna do with the oil and matchsticks. Probably cook something.

Okay so that was the second episode. It was quite uninteresting for the most part.

Hoping something good from the next one.

Buh-bye!

IPKKND LIVE BLOG - Season 1 [Epi - 2]

Cooooommmmmmmeeee ooooooonnnnnnnn, letz start the second epiiiiiiiiii.

So we are starting right from where we had left them off. ANDDDDD BAAAAMMMM! Khushi jolts out of her (or rather their?) trance and realizes where her hand is, snatches it back. Pulling out Arnav from his trance as well.

I want you to focus on their expressions in the scene. Look closely, when she snatches her hand away from his collar. His gaze, instantly falls down to her hand and there's a moment where he steels himself and maybe even thinks that 'How dare she!'.

It's as if Arnav realizes that he needs to be angry and THEN all hell breaks lose, as he throws her out of his hands. He orders the head of his PR team to control the photos and videos of this 'scandal'. Khushi is locked in a room for interrogation.

Back in Gomti Sadan, the neighborhood aunties are gossiping about Khushi's absence. Buaji asks about the papers' whereabouts to Payal. But, Payal, already very nervous and tongue-tied, reduces to tears. I am surprised why did Buaji not see the change in her demeanor and most importantly her spilled tears. But, that's also not much surprising coz Buaji can hardly ever read Payal or Khushi's distress over anything that they seem to be facing alone, in the entire show. This scene also indicates that Payal has never been the rule-breaker kid, she's always been kind of a 'yes-man' to her parents.

Ohh! Did you notice how Khushi's voice sounds so off? Do you know why? Turns out Sanaya was sick with cold while shooting this sequence. She mentioned this in that interview with Mrs. Gul Khan, which was released right after IPK ended a few months ago.

Arnav instructs the team to interrogate Khushi and check whether a rival company (Re-Fashion? RI-Fashion? REE-Fashion? whatever, lol.) send her there to ruin his fashion show in exchange of some petty amount of money.

Payal's belief, of her Abhishek ji standing up to his family's demand of the dowry, breaks. She realizes that he is present there, knows everything going on but still refuses to speak up. She is heart-broken.

Was it only me or you also thought that the way Sanaya pronounced 'profession' is kind of-idk-intriguing?-sexy?-hot?-pata nahi choro (ok, leave it.)

Garima tries to associate the papers' absence to Khushi's absence. Payal has been caught like a deer caught in headlights.

Arnav comes to meet or rather to interrogate his wife 'that' girl, for 'answers'. Khushi requests him to let her go as she explains him that she landed there by mistake.

He is so adamant in throwing all the unfortunately familiar 'accusatory' questions. What was that 'Wipro-Fashion'? 'PRO-Fashion'? Whatever. See, many of you would disagree, here, but I think he is legit right in doubting her intentions, given the type of people he would have dealt with till now in this profession. Although, WE know, from Khushi's POV, that she is right, BUT that's the thing, he doesn't.

"Then let it (the marriage) break. Problems like these are nothing for girls like you. If one leaves, then trap another." ("Toh tut jaane do shaadi. Tum jaisi ladkiyon ka kya hai. Ek jayega, dusra phasaa lena.") And the BG score changes to something close to tandav beats. Maybe, just maybe he realized that he has struck a chord or crossed a line or fcked up real bad. It can be any of the three.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! The dreaded moment is here. Khushi retaliates but she does not realize the volcano in front of her, ready to burst out with hot, molten lava. She attempts to side step him but he grabs her by the arm and yanks at the dori of her blouse. Pearls scatter around, everywhere on the floor. Khushi is horror struck, devastated, horrified and all the girls watching this for the first time already knew what that meant. And hated Arnav for doing that to her for a long, long time.

See the irony, here. In the previous episode, we saw them together in that beautiful frame. No-one had any doubt of them being the alpha couple of the show. BUT. BUT. BUT.

After this scene, audience must have doubted, some might even have gone to the extent to declare Arnav as the villain. And later considered Shyam as the hero, coz of the way, he was introduced (we will come to that in that episode).

Hmm. I am thinking. Why did he let her go? Like? So....easily? After she pulled the ribbon from her hair and covered her exposed back, or rather her modesty. Arnav has frozen. At his spot. He isn't even moving a finger. (I will have to process this scene and then will let you know in a separate post.)

With this, the scene blurs and along with Khushi, we reach Gomti Sadan, where everything is eerily silent. Wait. Did we reach so early? Didn't Khushi take the whole day to reach SM? Then how come- ohh Guilty Arnav might have arranged a car for her to reach her home safely-Lol. Who am I kidding with? This is ASR, we are talking about. Let's stop with the wishful thinking.

Gomti Sadan. Gossips. Malign in their social image. A broken marriage. All of these are termed as a "Kali' (black ink) by Buaji. And who's at fault? Khushi. She talks of pulling off her braid and handing it to her. Basically, beat her ass off.

Buaji, I think, was never able to accept Khushi as her own child. She was always the only one to differentiate between the two. She was only the one who instigated Garima and Shashi against her. Although, Shashi had wholeheartedly accepted her as his daughter but Garima, often used to get manipulated into believing the worst, in Khushi.

Even now both Buaji and Garima are convinced that Khushi was, somehow, jealous of her sister's fate (that she was getting married) and so to malign it, she decided to sabotage the wedding by taking away the papers and fleeing out of everyone's sight until the wedding is called off.

Lol. Junior Engineer. And Buaji thinks, that's self-explanatory for them, having a right to ask for a dowry. Khushi explains herself. But, she is admonished by her (B-ji), for acting like a 'Dadi Amma', means trying to act above her age, by interfering in elders' matters.

Still, for the Guptas', specifically for Mrs. Garima Gupta, a broken marriage is worse than Payal getting married into a money-hungry family. Do you see it here? Getting MARRIED is of more importance than getting married into THE RIGHT FAMILY.

And as if all this admonishing and insulting is not enough, so, she kind of disowns her daughter. "Mat kaho hume Amma".

Khushi, who already had abandonment issues, guilt of being a burden to 'this' family, is now shell shocked. Someone please save this poor kid.

Buaji does it again! Hip, hip hurray guys! She again pulls up the orphan card and a non-refundable debt (of getting adopted by her brother and sister in law) card! What an awesome timing Buaji! Shut up Buaji. What? Shashi said this. Not me. I have manners, ok.

"Arre tujhse saga humara koi nahi hai." Payal's words calms Khushi to some extent. But, they are still not enough as we see that Khushi cannot sleep, and keeps tossing and turning, recalling her amma's harsh words.

She wakes up and opens their shop's door. Khushi is shown handling an LPG gas cylinder, an oil cannister and lighting a match stick, giving us the impression of her attempting to give up her life.

Precap starts. *quickly pauses it* I don't watch precaps. Spoilers. Don't like them. Bye. Such a stressful episode to watch.

P.S. : Remember the interview I was talking about? This is it. Please do give it a watch if you haven't already. It's so beautiful them sharing the off-screen things and being all nostalgic. You'll love it. :)

Previous Next Episode!

[itz-stus]

Um how about a Indian reader who believes in sex after marriage sooo when they were in relationship gojo has to kinda suffer (in a funny way) being a herbivore and after there marriage he can't just wait to leave the crowd teasing the reader through the function and it would be more fun if it's an Indian wedding cause we all know ristedar picha na shadi ke pehle chorte hai aur na shaadi ke baad 😆

But getting his hands all over her once they leave them alone

I'm imagining his reaction when reader would cry her eyes out during vidai 😆

Btw new Tumblr user here I got excited knowing a Desi gojo fic writer<3

Feel free to ignore tho

Omggg I loved this request it was soo fun!! Like my literal fantasy came to life here!! I did this request so fast in honor of the Goat's homecoming!!

Masterlist

The Wedding Night

So you two have been preparing for the wedding for months. Since you had to organize two weddings one Japanese style and one Indian style

When he found out honestly he was quite amused of course but he always respected your decisions. Not without teasing you at every given moment from sexy scenes in movies to books if there were any he would always say "Just wait until the day we get married~" teasing you on how you believed in sex after marriage.

Now the day was finally here, Satoru in a beige sherwani with blue flowers and golden kadhai asdfghjkl. 

When you joined the ballroom oh my wearing that royal wedding dress. The red lehenga with gold all over it. Damn, this man fell even harder he didn't even know he could see this day.

After the var mala, You and he sat in front of the mandap now that's where the fun began. 

Satoru's slippers were gone in seconds, even the strongest sorcerer couldn't save them. 

Your sister got a lot of money in return which made you sigh at both of their behaviors

"Where are my slippers?" Satoru said looking around as you snickered and looked at your sisters (now salis) as one of them wore the slippers. "Jija ji~," Your sisters said menacingly as they tapped on his shoulders making him look around "Oh, you found them? Thank you" He smiled patting one of their head, oh this poor boy doesn't know what is going to happen now as the swiped the slippers as he was about to reach them making he raise his eyebrow. The eldest smiled and said snickering "Nothing in return~" Satoru didn't has a single clue about what she was asking and placed a plate of golgappa from the waiter in her hand. Making you laugh and said "Not that idiot, she's talking about money the neigh(idk what you call it but in my family, they call it neigh or shagun ka lifafa)" "Oh!! Here my sweet sisters-in-law!" He said putting his card in their hands making your and your sister's jaws drop to the floor. "Oh, Beh--" You were about to curse as your elder sister (can be cousin too) covered your mouth. "Not today Y/n."

After the faire and pooja, it was time to play the games. The most intense game of no other. Both of you were so determined to find the ring in the bowl. After, 7 rounds you finally won the first game. While Satoru won the rice game.

At the Dinner, he thought this was the time he finally would get you alone. But unfortunately for him all your relatives when to meet you.

You two were sitting together while the whole family sat on the larger table as Indian dishes were served as the relatives started to come from one of your closets first. First were from your mother's house who came and fed you two a bite of the food (The custom where like the relatives feed you one bite showing their love towards the bride and groom) "Hai mera beta itni badi hogayi," Your Mama said feeding you two a bite as you turned to Satoru and introduced him to your uncle " 'Toru, This is My Mama the one I told you about." You said as Satoru nodded and smiled at him "Yes I remember, Namaste sir" "Oh don't call me sir, I'm your Uncle now boy!" You Uncle fist-bumped your newly wed husband welcoming him to the family as he leaned to your ear and whispered "Hindi seekh raha hai?" He asked as you giggled and nodded "Abhi tak sahi chal rahi hai classes"

Oh, that was just one of them, and many more from both your mother's and father's side. You introduced those who were left in the group photos

After the whole dinner, there was part of the vidai when you both were leaving to go to your hotel. After the whole energetic wedding now everyone had a solemn look as he looked at you hugging your mother and crying your eyes out. Much to say he was amused he was omg he was so confused he thought you didn't want to go but you had lived with him in Japan.

Getting in the car this mf would be 100 perc. be dramatic saying that you didn't love him and broke his heart, and like he never knew you didn't want to live with him. As you explained that is why you were crying. As you two drove to your hotel.Now finally married.

Ohhhh! Here's the fun parttt!! The suhag raat!!

Satoru finally gets you alone when he finally lifts your veil like in the old Bollywood films looking at your beautiful face decorated with gold jewelry as he kissed you so softly and passionately which of course you gladly returned. 

The funny part is that he won't still be able to do what he wants, for actually taking off your clothes he and you would take out the jewelry, safety pins, and makeup for like half an hour.

Oh, he would just be soo fucking touchyyy like literally would seduce you when he helped you take off your safety pins. like squeezing your waist or your inner thighs. Well, You know what happened next right? ;)

[jalebi-weds-bluetooth]

Hey Jwb,

How are you?

I was watching the dadi track when Dadi was exposing that Arnav and Khushi didn't take pheres, And I really loved the way Arnav took a stand for Khushi, but idk why Arnav didn't tell everyone that it was a contract marriage, He only mentioned that "Me jaanta hu meri aur khushi ki shaadi kin halaat me hui", He should've disclosed that he married khushi for 6 months only and he should've explained the reason behind the contract marriage infront of Raizadas and Madhumati, I feel like if Arnav would've disclosed it at that moment, Then no one would've dared to say anything about khushi especially Dadi, Madhumati and Garima. So i really wanted to know your opinion about this? Don't you think the idea of disclosing about 6 months marriage contract would have saved Khushi from facing humiliation in front of everyone!?

Hey Anon,

Two things happened on the night of elopement.

1) Arnav forced/blackmailed Khushi to stay with him for six months

2) he drafted a shady six months marriage agreement with Khushi

The first one reflects his terrible actions. The second one nullifies the marriage after six months.

We are to assume Arnav has told everyone how the marriage came to be. Nani is aware because of Arnav saying “I made the biggest mistake of my life” and Buaji is furious, she yells at Khushi later that Arnav is as rotten as his grandmother because he forced her into marrying him and she will not let her child be humiliated again.

Arnav is completely fine being insulted over his lack of character and morality.

But given dadi is in the house, who is waiting to tear Khushi away from him and essentially remove any and every Raizada right from her - Arnav would never disclose the contractual marriage because it would harm Khushi more than Arnav.

The very fact that just because one Hindu wedding ritual didn’t happen - his whole family invalidates the wedding. Even Nani - who knows the circumstances of the wedding! (Which is why Arnav is so disappointed in his family for keeping quiet when Dadi spew crap against Khushi).

The only way Arnav gains control over the situation and still demands respect for Khushi in the house is with the fact that they’re legally married. (Which makes me believe they never signed any contract papers at all, they were just regular wedding papers that Arnav would’ve annulled after six months and one of the ways to annul a marriage is to claim there’s been no consensual physical relationship between the spouses thus the hut scene and the attempted suhaagraat is technically so important cause it then pushes the annulment into a divorce which can only happen one year after, not six months. It solidifies their marriage in more ways than one*).

This is a patriarchal world and Khushi is under a lot of protection by legally being Mrs. Raizada. From financial to legal protection. People think twice before commenting because she is the wife of one of the most powerful person in India. Do I like this concept in terms of my feminist ideas - no. Is this reality? Yes.

Removing the protection of marriage over Khushi’s head would give him no right to defend Khushi before Dadi and no right for him to prevent her family from taking her away from him. Also he would have no way to give her financial protection either. With her as his legal wife she has right to his assets and properties.

And at that situation his Dadi (and Shyam) are waiting for Khushi to be “single” again because then they can rip her character to pieces. It is point to be noted that Dadi does come against Khushi viciously with the belief that Khushi isn’t Arnav’s wife because they’re religiously invalid (perhaps Shyam told her they’re legally invalid after six months but Dadi being a traditionalist thought the Hindu wedding rituals mean more so despite her wishes she has to acknowledge Khushi as Arnav’s wife).

So when she learns that the Hindu weddings rituals didn’t happen, she unleashes her venom. She believes Arnav is lying when he states Khushi is his legally wedded wife because Shyam has told Dadi otherwise.

And what was aggressive bullying before (when she believed Khushi was Arnav’s religiously wedded wife) became full character assassination against Khushi by Dadi.

Arnav’s family though are emotionally hurt by the fact that their Chotte didn’t have enough grace to respect Khushi and his family with a valid marriage when he is aware how important religion and rituals are to them. They’re coming from their own pov that Arnav’s actions are disrespectful to the Hindu institution of marriage and to Khushi.

Which is why they’re overjoyed when Arnav tells he’s going to marry his own wife again. And you can notice that no one in the family - except Dadi - takes the marriage seriously either because they all know Khushi is Arnav’s wife. It’s about the rituals and giving Khushi the respect. They relax the mehendi ceremony with the couple celebrating together. No one questions ArShi sneaking off in between the wedding and even plan the Haldi together and a meet up after Haldi! Because they know that they are ultimately a married couple.

It’s funny that they say “oh you can’t meet after Haldi” and they keep meeting 😂 its more to tease their legs than anything tbh. Also Khushi and Arnav sleep together right before they’re religiously wedded which is incredibly significant.

It’s about bringing Khushi home with rituals and respect. Otherwise the Buaji who forbid Akash from meeting his fiancé at New Year’s chuckles on realizing Arnav sneaked in and met Khushi - in her bedroom, in private - right after the wedding was discussed.

She even teases Khushi that they know who sneaked in instead of questioning her over it because even they know this isn’t about the legality of the wedding. For Khushi’s family it’s about the respect - hers and the rituals.

Hope this answered your question :)

Bandage to the Heart | Part - 2

<<part - 1

"You have grown up so much. Whatever will I do without you in this place after today?"

"Nothing. You would do nothing without me", said Khushi sensing incoming waterworks.

"Jiji, I stay barely half an hour away from Shantivan. And Holi is just a handful of days away. Even after that we'll visit each other at least once a week. Kya pata without me you might burn this place down" she finished fake-haughtily.

Payal chuckled wiping a tear.

"Once a week hi kyun? That won't be enough. I'd want to check on others in the family too. Just in case they get dabao-fied under your tyranny."

"Sundays for Nani-ji, Mondays - Anjali-ji, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for Mama-ji and Mami-ji. Thursdays for Nanheji and Fridays for poor Jijaji."

"And whom did you mark Saturdays for? Laxmi-ji?" asked Payal, now laughing.

"Woh toh I've saved for Laad-Governor, woh kya hain, it's the weekend and he won't be busy preparing for Mondays like he does on Sundays - and I can make him sit and watch Salman Khan ji's movies with me." her hands busy with her lehenga again and eyes glittering with dreams of Dum Aloo and the Dabaang series with her Darling Singh Raizada.

"Huh?"

"huh?"

"Haan.. movies with Arnavji, Satsang with Mamiji, disco with Hari Prakash ji. All very realistic possibilities. He-he" she tried saving the situation.

"Jiji, bahut baatein karti ho. Tumhe aaj shaadi karni hain ki nahin?" throwing the lehenga and jewelry onto the bed, she scrambled to reach for the door.

"I'll go check on Amma & Buaji, they must have gotten ready by now. They might need an extra hand with setting down the madap ka samaan" and off she ran leaving Payal with a curious expression on her face.

Now that her Arnavji was back on her mind, she allowed herself a shy smile. She had grown used to her dhak-dhak in the past few days. It actually feels weirdly lonely without it paired with the 'acidity'. The bindi he used earlier to do his bidding sat warmly between her brows. It was the same one she put on this morning but with his little gesture, it felt.. she felt - very different. She touched it and thought back to the way he made his intention very clear. Are they the same pair they were a few weeks ago?

"Na tumhari shakal dekhni hai, na tumse koi baat karni hai"

Yet he seemed weirdly angry when he thought he would never get to see her face again. Was it her fault he mistook that she got into an accident? He shook her and shook her more that evening, snapping at her when she started to go with Nanheji again. Fumed as he drove the car ~slowly~ to bring her back. Yelled at her when she cut her arm with the bangles of the wrong size. Did not hesitate to give his input on which saree she should select for herself this morning.

Laad Governer kahin ke. Khushi rolled her eyes fondly.

"Na hi hum aapse baat karna chahte, aur na hi aapki shakal dekhna chahte"

But she made a fool of herself flitting around Shantivan, kicking herself for asking Devi Maiyya to take him away from her sight. She couldn't sit peacefully by her Jiji, got a hasty mehendi design to get it over with so she could step away from all prying eyes and ring his phone incessantly. She had asked Anjali ji once, Nani-ji next if he was back yet. 3 hours? She had counted all 10,800 seconds. She played a dangerous gamble holding the phone close while apologizing profusely for wishing she could never see him again. He looked delicious though, waving the voicemail right in her face. A proud smirk on his lips appeared as he noticed his 'A' on her palm and her brains were F-R-I-E-D. Maybe sometimes for this very purpose, she secretly liked it when he caught her being an idiot.

Lost in her thoughts her feet carried her up the stairs of this now very familiar house which almost felt like her own.

"Khushi ji!" called OP after her. He ran up to the study where she was standing with an envelope in his hand.

"Are you going up Khushi ji? Can you please give this to Anjali Didi? I have to check on the drinks and snacks being served to the guests" Khushi smiled and took the envelope from his hand that had some diagnostic lab name written on it. OP vanished through the side hallway into the kitchen thanking the nice girl in his head.

Khushi reached the first floor landing with eyes still out for her Arnavji. Should she go to his room? Was he in there? What excuse could she make up to see his face?

The door to Anjali ji's room was open to the far right end and she willed herself into that direction instead. Her dear friend who is almost like a sister was beside herself with joy the past few days, arranging everything to her brand of perfection. Khushi closed a fist and knocked on the door when she reached there before she putting a tentative foot inside.

"Anjali ji.." Khushi peeked into the room to make sure the dung beetle Shyam wasn't there. Instead, she saw the man from her thoughts with his head on his Di's lap, and she…

"ANJALI JI!!"

🦇 Tastes Like Shakkar Book Review 🦇

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

❝ "As a wedding planner, I have learned to appreciate blunt honesty. I mean, what's sexier than that? Being completely transparent and straight with another person takes a kind of fearlessness, doesn't it?" ❞

❓ #QOTD What's your favorite Shakespeare play (or retelling)? ❓ 🦇 Bobbi Kaur is eager to plan a blow-out, unforgettable wedding for her best friend. Unfortunately, she's paired with Benjamin “Bunty” Padda to complete the task; the groom's best friend and man who derailed her career as a wedding planner. After Bunty refuses to cater a previous wedding for her, Bobbi's boss and uncle loses his faith in her ability to one day manage the business. The Kareena Mann and Prem Verma (#Vermann) wedding could be her chance to prove herself and win an account with one of the biggest venues around. To make matters worse, someone is trying to sabotage the wedding. Despite their constant bickering and the shaadi saboteur's best efforts, can Bobbi and Bunty call a truce and (with the help of a few sleuthing, meddling aunties) turn the Vermann wedding into a happily ever after?

💜 How do I bottle up all my love for Nisha Sharma, Bobbi, and Bunty in a concise review? Oh, let me count the ways... (whoops, wrong play). "There's a skirmish of wit between them" is far more accurate. Tastes Like Shakkar picks up from the scene we missed in Dating Dr. Dil, when Bobbi and Bunty speak alone at Kareena's birthday party. A moment of misunderstanding flares into hostility, even though Bobbi and Bunty have more in common than they realize. Sharma does a stunning job of pulling from Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing while staying true to her Punjabi-American characters. So many books are categorized as romcom more for the situational comedy than actual laugh-aloud moments, which Sharma brings in spades. Bobbi and Bunty have all the wit and sass of their Shakespearian counterparts, but they bring the heat, too. This sweet, sassy story has a flare of spice that's bound to get your blood pumping. Whether Bunty is cooking up a storm in the kitchen or not, there are plenty of mouthwatering moments to spare.

💜 Bobbi's independence and ferocity are inspiring, while Bunty's foodie notes, text, and willingness to SHOW he's falling first are heartwarming. The layers of similarity between them—taking on familial obligations while trying to prove themselves—bring Bobbi and Bunty together when internal and external forces try to drag them apart. The aunties are, as always, a hoot, and Bobbi's curvy representation (and better yet, PRIDE) warmed my heart.

🦇 As much as I loved the story's mystery element, I pegged the shaadi saboteur the moment Bobbi chooses her first suspect. Sharma leaves plenty of little breadcrumbs for readers to follow. Though there's a TON of sizzle and spice (I'm fanning myself at the thought of that throne scene), I do think it was rushed, almost entirely resolving the animosity between them with smut.

🦇 Recommended for fans of Shakespeare retellings, @sonali.dev / Sonali Dev's The Rajes series, or @saradesaiwrites / Sara Desai's The Marriage Game series! Any rom-com lover is bound to fall in love with Bobbi and Bunty!

Babes tell me about it !!!! The rishta thing is so so annoying I've just turned 20 and everywhere I turn there's a conversation about my "shaadi" like calm down people chill. I'm only in my second year of uni and these people are ready to send me off. Parents are okay till whenever I'm ready however grandparent,uncles,aunts all are ready to ship me off. The variety of boys I've heard about till now is truly astounding like I want to know how my family knows these many people.

I literally have been dealing with this bullshit since I saw 16. My parents pretty much handled it for me until I was 18 as they didn't know if I even wanted to marry or not and they have always been pretty open about the idea of me not marrying, staying in their house, and marrying out of our culture (I'm no longer religious, just agnostic so they're chill on that front).

As soon I turned 18 they gave me free rein to say and do whatever I wanted. So I initiated my ten-step plan of psychological warfare on my extended family to prove i'm not worth of the gift that is an arranged marriage.

ADORA'S TEN-STEP GUIDE TO PISSING OFF EXTENDED FAMILY

Fight the favourite uncle (verbally or physically your choice, I chose both)

Did not become a doctor/engineer or pursue a job in education.

Did not show respect to my older cousins and called them out for being bitches and fought for the other cousins who were not as 'respectable'.

Can't cook (I can but I fucked up food on purpose, my dad finds this very funny)

got into multiple fistfights in public

broke a chair over the back of a girl whose father was part of a political party.

nearly stabbed a man

ate dishsoap (not necessary but can confirm apple scent does not mean apple flavour)

literally refused to talk to them in four years (my mum tells them i'm not home and my dad literally races me to see who can get to the bathroom to avoid the phone first)

got a tattoo spanning from my forearm to my back (my dad doesn't know this, this is my last resort. If push comes to shove i'm walking around in a tank top, tits and tattoo on show)
