Some of the rationales for people's behavior in the book seemed so convoluted and basically a bit preposterous to me. I didn't really feel the burgeoning love relationship between a surgeon (Trisha) and a chef (D.J.) at all. It just seems like a rom-com movie script put down on paper.
But that didn't really make it better for me. Wickham is a woman, the Darcy equivalent character is also a woman). Especially since I have loved many books about Indian culture.ĭev does cleverly reverse gender roles here (i.e. I was tasked with reading a "retelling" for a challenge, and this book just came out and seemed like it might be perfect. I must qualify this review by stating upfront that I am one of the only women in the world who really did not like. A man who has never felt at home anywhere. A family trying to build home in a new land. As the two clash, their assumptions crumble like the spun sugar on one of DJ's stunning desserts. But before a future can be savored there's a past to be reckoned with. And then he discovers that she's the only surgeon who can save his sister's life. He needs the lucrative job the Rajes offer, but he values his pride too much to indulge Trisha's arrogance. Up-and-coming chef DJ Caine has known people like Trisha before, people who judge him by his rough beginnings and place pedigree above character. So long as she doesn't repeat old mistakes. But now she has a chance to redeem herself. And never, ever, defy your family Trisha is guilty of breaking all three rules.Never do anything to jeopardize your brother's political aspirations.But that's not enough for the Rajes, her influential immigrant family who's achieved power by making its own non-negotiable rules: Trisha Raje is San Francisco's most acclaimed neurosurgeon. It is a truth universally acknowledged that only in an overachieving Indian American family can a genius daughter be considered a black sheep. Award-winning author Sonali Dev launches a new series about the Rajes, an immigrant Indian family descended from royalty, who have built their lives in San Francisco.
