I loved this one on audio in particular, check that out if you like romance reads on audio as much as I do.
thank you Putnam and PRH audio (free review copies) for this new book from Naina Kumar, between this read and her debut last year, she is a new favorite romance writer! I love her style, her slow burn banter and chemistry, and how her stories, though universal in themes, also weave in needed depth of culture and identity, exploration of how culture and family shape relationships, that I really value. I love a story that brings in not just themes on second chance love but also the space for self growth and reflection; Meena's story has this and Naina Kumar is deft at giving her characters space to grow and explore relationships but also space for self reflection. Flirting with Disaster was a big win for me, engaging for the charm and banter, hard to put down because of the ways Kumar drew me to care about and connect with Meena.
