I loved the premise too and wondered what the book would make of it. <br /><br />@Kimba Hope you pick it up, Kimba! It's the perfect summer read :)<br /><br />@Hilda Awww, YAY for the Gilbert Blythe love! He's so awesome and nice and right for Anne... I continue to love Anne of Green Gables to this date! It's so cute that you're all romantic about arranged marriage. <3 I'm not sure if it personally appeals to me or not yet :P Thanks squealing about Gilbert with me Hilda and hope you read Arranged soon :D<br /><br />@Mimi Awww. Glad it made it to your TBR list, Mimi. <3 This is pretty adorable chic lit with not many explicit sex scenes or anything. Just one, I think.<br /><br />@Heidi It was a lot of fun and the Anne of Green Gables references were adorable ;-) Since you're a fan, I'm sure you'll love that, Heidi!<br /><br />@Missie Thanks so much for stopping by, Missie!

I would also like to see how the arranged marriage works out. It is so interesting to me to read your take on this Pooja, coming from a culture where arranged marriage is still the norm. I am sure it was fun for you, too.

I've never heard of the idea of an arranged marriage service before, but I love how you talked a bit about how it's the norm where you come from. It's so intriguing to learn that so I know that arranged marriages look different to different people! :) <br /><br />Amazing review, Ajoop! This book sounds unlike any book I've heard about, and your glowing recommendation is putting this on my TBR pile! ;) <3Mimi Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04241457025232914551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301578054809232593.post-58237294094062420452012-05-17T08:40:58.348-07:002012-05-17T08:40:58.348-07:00Oh my gosh, Ajoop!!

Anne from Green Gables is very stubborn, but Gilbert is always so patient toward her! How much I wish I could have a guy who is that SMART, that GORGEOUS, and that NICE LOL! x)<br /><br />Oh, I think I would be very jealous and try something ridiculous if I were in Annie's situation! x) It's amazing that many of your families's marriages are arranged too - it's not a foreign design here either! Hmm, and unlike other girls, I'm not very opposed toward the idea of arranged married LOL! Maybe it's just my romantic side kicking in. :P<br /><br />What a fun review, Ajoop! So glad you really enjoyed this book! This book make my Can't-wait-wishlist thanks to your super amazing review! x)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10224746396123025992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301578054809232593.post-37807403854016066562012-05-17T05:19:22.682-07:002012-05-17T05:19:22.682-07:00This sounds like the perfect summer read..i have b...This sounds like the perfect summer read..i have been craving these fun reads...awesome review.

I don't think I've ever read a book with that theme. I've always been intrigued by the whole process, because I know it's success rate is quite high. It's also very common in Indian television series (which I guiltily admit watching :P ), so I'd love to see the American take of it. <br />Great review, Pooja ! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7301578054809232593.post-21447865388980728652012-05-17T01:00:52.136-07:002012-05-17T01:00:52.136-07:00I'm more a young-adult book reader, but your r...I'm more a young-adult book reader, but your review makes me want to read this one.
