From New York Times bestselling author Sandhya Menon comes a delightful enovella sequel to When Dimple Met Rishi and Thereโs Something about Sweetie, about a Valentineโs Day group date gone hilariously, disastrously awry.
Ashish Patel has never considered himself a hopeless romantic. But now that heโs found his other half, Sweetie Nair, thereโs nothing he wants more than to celebrate love in all its forms. So when Valentineโs Day rolls around and he hears about a romance-themed escape room, he knows itโs the perfect opportunity to bring together Sweetie along with his newly engaged brother and sister-in-law-to-be, Rishi Patel and Dimple Shah.
On their way to the escape room, the group runs into Pinky Kumar and Samir Jhaโboth friends to Ashish but nemeses to each other. Despite Pinkyโs kneejerk reaction to the cheesy theme (which gets her a high-five from Dimple), the two of them agree to join the group.
The escape room is as insufferably saccharine as Pinky feared, but even she is surprised when she and Samir actuallyโฆwork well together. Samir embodies everything Pinky despisesโfollowing rules, having no fun, consuming single-use plastics. Getting along with someone like himโa shiny Volvo when sheโs so used to junkersโsends Pinky into a tailspin.
Sparks are definitely flying, but itโs unclear if thatโs a good thing. Could this be love at first fight?
