5.0 out of 5 stars An absolutely beautiful second-chance redemption love story
Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on January 25, 2022
"Maybe what you're seeing as an end is a new beginning."

Seven years ago, Ayesha lost her brother and then pushed away everything else, her dreams, her independence, and the love of her life. Not wanting to hurt her mother anymore, she transformed into the dutiful and diligent daughter that her mother wanted and needed and took on the family business.
Now, her best friend is getting married and her huge Indian wedding is her first chance in a long time to step away from her duties for a minute. And then her mother tries to set her up with the perfect future son-in-law.
Then Emmitt shows up. Her brother's best friend. The love of her life. The man who left seven years ago when she asked him to. Suddenly the lines between old Ayesha and new Ayesha get blurry. Can Ayesha find a way to make everyone, including herself, happy?

I looooooooved loved loved this. Sonali Dev's writing is so poignant and heartfelt. I felt so much for every character. Ayesha is such a beautiful, deep character. Ayesha's grief and duty was so authentic and moving. Emmitt was also such an incredible, excellent character. His love for Ayesha was immediately obvious. Their chemistry was genuinely palpable and I was rooting for them from the second that Emmitt showed up.

I really loved that even in such a short story, there was so much more than romance. The friendship between Ayesha and Bela was well-fleshed out and wonderful as was Ayesha's familial relationships and the duty she felt to them.

This was such a beautiful story, my only wish is that we got a full length novel out of this story and these wonderful characters.

"How can you do better than someone who sees you exactly the way you want to be seen?"

Thank you to Netgalley, Amazon Original Stories, and Sonali Dev for an e-ARC of The Wedding Setup. This ARC in no way influences my review or opinions.
