About this ebook
'A warm, smart, sexy, and absolutely charming debut' COLLEEN HOOVER, It Ends With Us
-----
"Think of it like Tinder. Except your parents are the algorithm"
Meghna has tried everything to find her jaan: blind dates, the dreaded apps, even attempting conversations with strangers. Everything except arranged marriage.
Then Seth, her best friend and the-one-who-got-away, asks her to be his "best man" and suddenly her parent's taste doesn't seem so bad. Which is how she meets the cranky but handsome Karthik, who knows marriage is not for him.
They’re the perfect match – if not the one their parents think they are making – and a deal is struck. They’ll announce their engagement: Karthik will be excused from his mother’s set-ups and Meghna will have a date for the wedding from her nightmares.
But how can you fake it and get away with it, when you’re not faking it at all?
For fans of WEDDING SEASON, SAY YOU'LL BE MY JAAN is brimming with characters you can't help but fall for, off-the-charts chemistry and all the joy of a 90s romcom as it takes a fresh look on that age old search for your other half.

My only minor criticism is that Meghna and Karthik were very Westernised Indians, TBH it felt like the only reason they were Indians was to introduce the idea of parents choosing their partners. It feels like a silly criticism but I wanted them to be a bit more Indian, rather than characters who could be white Americans if you removed the arranged marriage part? Anyway, a lovely opposites attract, fake-relationship, romance. I received an ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.
