Do you think you would have voted for Yash after his admission about Naina and India? Why or why not?
Praise for Incense and Sensibility
“This book holds a galaxy of depth in its pages; it is powerful and loving, sensual and layered. Sonali Dev’s writing is glorious.”
—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of In a Holidaze
“Incense and Sensibility is a tender, well-crafted novel, as much about finding purpose as it is about falling in love. Dev writes with such rare empathy and humor that I often found myself holding my breath on one page only to be giggling by the next. This is the kind of book you finish with a whole-body, happy sigh and a warm ache in your chest where the characters will live on. Yash and India’s story will stick with me for a long time.”
—Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read
Praise for Recipe for Persuasion
“A delight from start to finish, both for Jane Austen fans looking for a fresh take and readers seeking deeply felt relationships and complicated family dynamics. In Dev’s world, the past is alive in the present; I was wholly engrossed and had plenty to think about. At the same time, the reality TV story line added a thread of pure fun escapism—something all of us need right now.”
—Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author
“Nuanced and powerful . . . balances the toe-curling romance with high-octane family drama. . . . Dev’s candor and sensitivity in both story lines set this family-centric romance apart.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A sumptuously multilayered story about the ways love gets tangled in family life and romantic relationships. Highly recommended.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
Praise for Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors
“With humor, insight, and culinary descriptions so rich the tantalizing aromas practically waft from the pages, Dev’s latest draws readers into a tangled world of class, cultural, and political issues in a delicious riff on Pride and Prejudice.”
—Library Journal (starred review)
“Vivid and deliciously enticing, Dev’s storytelling is layered with emotional depth. . . . A flavorful harmony of cross-cultural unions, familial love, and an entertaining ensemble of characters that will leave readers with a serious craving for more.”
—NPR
“I don’t know what I loved the most about Pride, Prejudice, and Other Flavors. Was it how well Sonali Dev writes about family ties and how meaningful and painful they can be? Was it how passionate and dedicated her characters were for their chosen careers? Was it the fully realized love story between two complicated and sympathetic people? Or, my goodness, was it the food descriptions, which had me swooning? I can’t choose: all of these things came together to make a truly wonderful and joyous book.”
—Jasmine Guillory, New York Times bestselling author
