Luv (Un)Arranged by N.M. Patel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

"Luv (Un)Arranged" by N.M. Patel is a delightful dive into the complexities of modern Indian romance, where tradition meets individuality in the most charming ways. Have you ever wondered what happens when centuries-old customs clash with contemporary love? This book paints that picture vividly.

In this story, we follow Kriti Pandya, a headstrong and independent woman with three non-negotiable conditions for marriage. From the get-go, her character stands out with a blend of assertiveness and vulnerability that many readers might find relatable. How do you think you would fare if your life was being directed by such steadfast principles?

Enter Aakar Mishra, who not only agrees with Kriti’s conditions but sees them as perfectly reasonable. Their evolving relationship is nothing short of a rollercoaster, filled with moments that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on your own life choices. Can you imagine meeting someone who completely understands and respects your deepest values?

The vibrant backdrop of a large Indian family adds layers of humor, warmth, and sometimes chaos to the narrative. Patel’s depiction of family dynamics is both heartwarming and entertaining, often reminiscent of a lively Bollywood movie. If you could attend a wedding packed with such colorful characters, which family member would you gravitate towards?

As Kriti navigates her new life, the book delves into deeper themes of love, family expectations, and personal identity. It raises pertinent questions about the balance between honoring tradition and embracing modernity. How do you think you would strike that balance in your own life?
