I honestly don‘t know what happened. Three weeks ago I bailed on a books for being too romance-y and now the last two books I‘ve read have been romances and I really like both. This one was very good, my one complaint was that the chapter endings felt abrupt, almost like there should have been another page. 5⭐️

Fifteen-year-old Simran "Simi" Sangha comes from a long line of Indian vichole -- matchmakers. Simi starts a matchmaking service-via an app, but ends up messing with high school social hierarchy and must find a way out... A sweet and lighthearted story and narration

Vansa Matchmakers in India exist to reinforce deeply entrenched caste boundaries, the crossing of which leads to many young people dying in India every year, merely for marrying someone from a different caste or religion. I find the normalisation of this and the description of "Indian match-making" as some charming tradition very disturbing. 4y

Eggs @Vansa wow I did not know that. Thanks for the info-that‘s horrible 💔 4y

This book was so cute! I loved it. It reminded me a lot of Sandhya Menon books which I can‘t get enough of. This is my 5th completed book in the #24b42020 readathon.
