About this listen

In the tradition of Shobhan Bantwal's successful Indian American novels, Sonali Dev's debut captures the colorful spirit and fascinating details of Indian and Bollywood culture - including a lavish wedding - while delivering an emotionally layered and accessible story.

Mili Rathod has been bound by marriage since she was four years old. But when her husband shows no sign of claiming her after 20 years of waiting, Mili grabs the chance to leave India and come to America on a scholarship.

Playboy filmmaker Samir "Sam" Rathod is Bollywood's favorite bad boy. He'll do anything for his big brother - even travel halfway across the globe to take care of the "wife" who just crawled out of his brother's past. Yet Mili isn't the simple village girl Sam expected. She's a whirlwind who sucks him into her roommate's elaborate elopement and soon has him drowning in her onyx eyes. And though Mili fancies herself in love with his big brother, the husband she has never met, Sam is hoping for a very different ending.

was supposed to be a light read to lull me to sleep most nights. predictable story line but was shocked by the excessive cursing.
The writer must have tried real hard to insert one in every line. So childish.

And the emphasis on light skin was disturbing.

I'm just glad this was in the plus catalogue so free.

Excessive use of curse words. Colourist

Well narrated, good characterisation, I stuck with it to the end, although the ending was very predictable. Would benefit from being abridged.

Long

On my quest to read more POC authors I stumbled on this book. THe story is steeped in Indian Culture and stays true to its roots whether it is in India or the US. Usually books, written by non POC authors, centred around Indian characters can be a stereotypical and cold but this one is so far from that. That comes from the author being of the same culture as the main characters.

The book is open, hearty and engaging. The characters are relatable, even the ones that aren't that nice as so well written. This is an honest telling of love and all its complications including those that culture brings to the table.

This book and my ability to slip between its pages so easily further underlines my belief that I need to read more POC stories. The connections I form to them through the cultural touchpoints cannot be underestimated.

All my notes for this book were "I need to read more" - more of this book and more of this author. I love this book

Loved it. Didn't want it to end

For me this is the perfect type of romance novel. I loved it. I took all sorts of sneaky opportunities to listen to it. It was beautiful, funny, sad and heartwarming. If I wrote romances, I would have wanted to have written this one.

Wow!

The performer was brilliant! The story was good too, but I kept listening because of her. Doing all the voices and accents brought life to the story and was very engaging.

Stellar performance
