attracted. There is no way she can go into another relationship so soon after her latest mishap but surely a casual fling to forget about the wedding she did not have will not do any harm.But what happens when a casual fling becomes a serious one for both of them..??
Secrets & Saris by Shoma Narayanan is a beautifully written Indian contemporary romance. Being an Indian myself, the setting of the novel and all the beautiful explanation about the most detailed thing got to me the most. The story started off well but it got messy halfway because lots of things were happening at a time which made it difficult to enjoy the story. The story also appears to drag at times because of the overdoing.
The characters were ok and without any striking characteristic that made them special however, some readers may find it difficult to understand the heroine and certain events in the story due to the cultural difference. The romance is steamy enough with enough good moments to be called one of the saving grace of the novel.
Overall Secrets and Saris is a well written and good romance story but too many cooks(story-lines) spoiled the broth(story) in this one. If you want to read a really good Indian romance then go for the author’s previous works which are totally worth the read.
