I love love loved this fourth installment in the Rajes series by Sonali Dev, all of which are modern retellings of Jane Austen novels featuring different members of a large Indian-American family living in California. Youngest Raje brother, Vansh, takes center stage in this book and is the Emma equivalent in this retelling of Austen's Emma. He falls into a working arrangement with the fake ex-girlfriend (Naina) of his older brother, and things quickly heat up between them. This book was very fun and I fell in love with Vansh & Naina so quickly and was rooting for them to figure things out both with their nonprofit projects and their personal relationship! Highly recommend! Thank you to Avon Books & Harper Collins for the advance reader copy via NetGalley.
