& Then They Wed by Riya Iyer
4.0
First of all this is my first romance read that takes place in India and reading this book written by a self published author makes me even happier to review. Also as always I love seeing a midsize curvy fmc which stops making me doubt myself in the romance world!! Our female main character is also a doctor and through that we see more of Indian societal norms, whether it’s about the size of a person or a woman’s job. Another way through which we also see this is that the male main character has dyslexia and has been treated very badly by his mother throughout his raising.
With these backgrounds, I loved reading about these two characters and how they fell in love with each other
Btw the mmcs grandma is iconic and she makes the book much funnier!
Even though I loved most of this book and loved how cozy it made me feel since it plays in autumn, I have to say that after the 80% mark, it started to draw out. This was also influenced by the third act break up, which I hate with my whole heart.
All in all, it’s a cute romcom set in India and reminds me of my cute Turkish summer romances. Would definitely recommend.
