The Five-Day Reunion

3.5 stars — Well oops. Apparently I started this review, but barely wrote anything and didn’t realize it. So this is going to be bare bones. I really enjoyed seeing elements of the Indian wedding festivities that I have participated in with friends. I still don’t know them that well, but I recognized a few different ceremonies. Anita was a pretty solid heroine. I loved how passionate she was once she figured out what she wanted to do with her life, and how ardently she wanted to help those

When Nikhil arrives for his sister's wedding festivities, he's shocked to see his ex-wife there. Turns out, his mother has neglected to tell her elderly father, who's traveled there from India for the wedding, that Nikhil and Anita are divorced. Not wanting to risk his grandfather's health, he goes along with the charade. Spending time together reminds Nikhil and Anita of why they fell in love. Can they overcome their past hurts and find their way back to each other? This is a fun Desi romance, with the family relationships and wedding celebration playing an important role in the story. Nikhil and Anita were young and immature when they married, and they slowly come to realize they didn't work hard enough at the relationship. It's wonderful to see them rekindle a love that never really died, and commit to one another on a deeper level than before. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
