How to lose a rishta in ten days? Easy. Step one - show up late. Step two - be yourself. Step three - hope he runs. *** If dodging rishtas were a sport, Laila Amayah Asher would've been crowned national champion by now. Between nosy aunties, matchmaking moms, and a cousin's wedding that's spiraling into full-blown chaos, she's mastered the art of survival-aka fake smiles, polite lies, and dramatic exits. But this shaadi season comes with a twist: her mom's determined to find her a "suitable boy," and the universe seems equally determined to ruin her peace. *** Zayaan Saif Khan-the annoyingly good-looking, impossibly smug neighbor-next-door who somehow ends up in every wedding function Laila tries to escape. He's her new competition, distraction, and possibly the biggest mistake she'll make this season. Between dhol beats, family drama, and stolen glances over chai, Laila realizes surviving shaadi season might take more than just a plan-it might take risking her heart. *** A slow-burn, laugh-out-loud, soft-but-sizzling romance about timing, tangled hearts, and a girl who swears she's not falling for the boy her family treats like a walking green flag.
