What happens next is a lot of plans, chaos but amidst all this will they be successful to avoid this Shaadi? Will Prem's family ever convince him to get married? To know read 'Prem Says Yes to Shaadi'.

My Thoughts:

       'The story is really hilarious at times but also gets emotional at the end. I really enjoyed every bit of the story especially the planning the chaos that goes around the story. The readers can surely relate to how Prem's parents really want him to get married as they think that he is of the age where he needs to get married now which every Indian parent feels like. 

        The characters are well built and relatable. I liked the relationship that Prem shares with his cousins. We get to see every character that we might encounter in our society the Aunties who are more interested to get prospective relationships for others, the typical Indian parents. I liked how Prem's parents are supportive of his decision even after all the chaotic situation towards the end. 

        Language is simple and lucid. I really liked the writing style of the author. The book cover is apt to the plot and somewhat gives us an idea about what's going on in the story. The title of the book too is apt to the plot. 

        Overall, I really enjoyed reading this story and am looking forward to read more from the author. 

Rating: 5/5
