Welcome back to Serene Reads & Dramatic Escapes by Moushmi!
Today, I’m chatting about Luv Shuv in New York by N.M. Patel—a book that blends love, family, and self-discovery, all wrapped in the vibrant colors of Indian culture.
Review:
"Luv Shuv in New York" is such a relatable read! Akira, the main character, moves to New York to follow her dreams, but the pull of family expectations—especially the pressure of an arranged marriage—keeps tugging at her heart. The story perfectly captures that struggle many of us know too well: balancing personal goals with family traditions.
Akira’s relationship with Sam adds depth to the book. It’s not just about romance; it’s about navigating love while staying true to yourself and dealing with cultural pressures. The chemistry between them feels so real, and it’s this mix of love and self-discovery that made me really connect with the story.
And can I just say—Patel nails the cultural details, especially with the Navratri festival. The way she describes the music, colors, and the bond Akira shares with her family makes everything feel so vivid. It adds richness to the book and makes Akira’s homesickness hit even harder.
In the end, Luv Shuv in New York is a heartfelt journey of love, identity, and navigating the tricky balance between family expectations and your own dreams.
A Memorable Quote:
"It’s not just about falling in love, but finding yourself in a world that tells you who you should be."
This one hit home for me—so simple yet so powerful.
"I will not fall for him. I cannot fall for him. I absolutely cannot break my promise to my father."This quote reflects Akira's internal struggle and her commitment to her cultural values and family expectations despite her growing feelings for Sam
"So what if he makes me feel a little more at home in an unknown country? So what if he looks at me like I’m the only one he sees?"
About the Book:
If you love books that mix romance with cultural depth and a sprinkle of humor, Luv Shuv in New York is definitely worth a read.
About the Author:
N.M. Patel does an amazing job capturing the highs and lows of love and family while celebrating the beauty of Indian traditions. Her storytelling is heartfelt, making this book a treat for rom-com lovers everywhere.
