In this Much Ado About Nothing retelling, sworn enemies Bunty and Bobbi are forced to work together on their best friends’ wedding. While also dealing with a shaadi saboteur and fighting their growing feelings for each other. There’s a strong friend group, meddling aunties, a lot of food talk, and family drama. 

I had so much fun with this book! It was very cool to learn more about Desi culture and weddings while falling in love with Bunty and Bobbi. The characters were so lovable & the enemies to lovers was well done IMO. The book is funny and entertaining. Tastes Like Shakkar also discusses the pressures from parents, especially in Desi culture, to be loyal to the family and follow the path that has been set for you. Getting a peek into what that pressure can feel like was very insightful. 

Bobbi is a plus size character and you all know I appreciated that! The plus size rep was so well done. Bobbi was not made to apologize for her size or appearance. 

This book is the second in a series, but it works as a standalone! I did not read the first and did not feel like I was missing anything.
