Sugar, Spice and Can’t Play nice: antagonists to lovers, closed door romance with lush descriptions of food and clothing!

Sugar, Spice & Can’t Play nice by Annika Sharma

This is book 2 in Annika Sharma’s Chai Masala Club series - I do recommend you read these in order because there are a few references to book 1 that will be spoilers if you haven’t read it yet.

This one is an antagonists to lovers, closed door romance so appropriate for anyone who doesn’t want on-page sex. Our protagonists are both London-born, and find themselves in New York for various reasons. This book offers look into modern immigrant South Asian culture. It feels very much like a Bollywood romance - the twists and turns and drama are all dialed up to 11. There’s a lot going on in this book - family drama, work drama, relationship drama. I love the lush descriptions of clothing and food - this book will probably make you hungry.

I did feel it was about 50 pages too long, I did skim pages across some sections, which is why I’m giving this ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall Grade: 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
