What I Have to Say
This was such a lovely read. It was a short story collection where I enjoyed pretty much every story. It was very relaxing and romantic and it was honestly just such a joy to read. I don't know why but desi teen romance is one of my favourite genres to relax to, with most of the stories in this book revolving around teenagers or people in early adulthood.
Two of my particular favourite stories were Fate's Favourites, which played very much with the idea of soul mates and the idea that the thoughts of your soul mate would end up manifesting on your body and A Very Bloody Halyanam, which brought vampires into the mix.
I really liked exploring the mix of cultures and the differences and similarities between the different marriage ceremonies.
In all, it was a good, fun, relaxing read.
4 stars
My thanks go to Netgalley and Hodder Children's Books for providing me a gifted copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
