From New York Times bestselling author Sandhya Menon comes a delightful enovella sequel to When Dimple Met Rishi and Thereâs Something about Sweetie, about a Valentineâs Day group date gone hilariously, disastrously awry.
Ashish Patel has never considered himself a hopeless romantic. But now that heâs found his other half, Sweetie Nair, thereâs nothing he wants more than to celebrate love in all its forms. So when Valentineâs Day rolls around and he hears about a romance-themed escape room, he knows itâs 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 Jhaâboth friends to Ashish but nemeses to each other. Despite Pinkyâs 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 actuallyâŠwork well together. Samir embodies everything Pinky despisesâfollowing rules, having no fun, consuming single-use plastics. Getting along with someone like himâa shiny Volvo when sheâs so used to junkersâsends Pinky into a tailspin.
Sparks are definitely flying, but itâs unclear if thatâs a good thing. Could this be love at first fight?
