My Big, Fat Desi Wedding has been on my TBR for an embarrassingly long time, despite the fact I had looked forward to reading it. All of the stories were cute (it’s YA), though reflecting on it, I think I might have enjoyed it a bit more if the stories were NA. I appreciate the fact that I was introduced to many new authors, as that tends to happen with anthology series, as well as getting a glimpse into cultures that I’m not familiar with. I’d put A Wedding Recipe for Disaster by Sarah Mughal Rana at the top spot, as it’s a story that I would have loved to read an entire book about, with its Romeo & Juliet vibes.
3/5 ⭐️ overall, and a 🌶️ rating is not applicable here since it’s YA. #NetGalley #MyBigFatDesiWedding
