“If returning to your old life will make you happy, I will be okay. As long as you feel seen and cared for, I’ll be okay. As long as no one makes you feel like you’re lucky to have them, I will be okay. As long as you promise to never put yourself away again, I will be okay....As long as I know you’re happy, I will be okay.”

I’m simply overwhelmed. There’s Something About Mira just makes me feel lighter. Mind you I devoured this book quickly because it weaves history, romance, and mystery into a perfect journey. Sonali provides a full emotional journey that meanders along different paths that makes you smile, laugh, contemplate, and dare I say get teary eyed. Something that I’ve come to appreciate in all my years reading Sonali Dev’s books.

When Mira’s fiancé Dhurv is unable to join her on a scheduled engagement-honeymoon trip to New York City, she throws caution to the wind and goes alone. The trip to New York is life changing as she reconciles with her twin brother Rumi and his partner Saket. But she also finds mysterious ring that leads to a winding path of self discovery. Determined to return the ring to its owner, Mira goes on a journey from New York all the way to India and is joined by Krish. An eager journalist covering the story but is also dealing with an emotional past that comes to fruition in later chapters. The reveals in this are sooo good and also un-expected that I’m not risking any spoilers.

For me the stand out: Chapter Twenty-Four. A reveal that was heartbreaking that I had to put down my kindle for a bit and return to it. <spoiler>Women’s reproductive health and access to care and education is vital. It’s important, and matters now more than ever. Sonali’s very good at infusing real world themes in her books and doesn’t shy away from tough topics. Several are covered in the course of the novel and written with care and caution. Mira and Krish quietly reveal pain that has been silenced for years. How it festers and manifests weighs on you. But both characters transforms.

My only wish is that we never get to read Krish Halle's finished article!

Finally, another favourite quote:

“My home just came to me”.

Mira wants to return the lost ring that she find. Jornalist Krish wants the story and joins her in their adventure.
It's a very romantic story. Love the sweetness and swoony moments. Krish and Mira are terrific together. A terrific romance with some very touching moments.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Thank you NetGalley & Lake Union Publishing for allowing me access to this eBook! It'll be released on March 4th next year. It's a very charming book where we follow Mira Salvi who is seemingly living the perfect life and stumbles upon a lost ring. Her attempt to return it goes viral, catching the attention of Krish Hale, a determined journalist with his own agenda. As the two work together to trace the ring's owner, Mira begins to question whether her own life is as perfect as it seems. It's an engaging plot that I had me reading this book in a day! I recommend it to anyone who wants to read a lovely romance with cool plot and heartfelt moments!

I really enjoyed getting to read this, it had that romance element that I was looking for from the description. It uses the romance element perfectly and that the idea of a lost ring worked overall. I enjoyed going through the book from start to finish and enjoyed how the characters worked in this universe. Sonali Dev has a strong style for the genre and I was impressed from the way the characters worked overall in the story. It kept me invested and glad I got to read this.
