“I couldn’t put down this page-turner. . . . The new When Harry Met Sally . . . a warm, smart, sexy, and absolutely charming debut.”—Colleen Hoover As much as the 2020 pandemic years were weird and frustrating, they also brought us the amazing, swoon-worthy romance entitled "Say You'll Be Mine", by Naina Kumar. While living in her parents' house during the pandemic and working remotely for the first time, Naina decided to try her hand at writing a romance. She based her novel on her own parents' experiences with matchmaking, but added the questions of what would matchmaking look like in the modern world. Could it work here? How would you deal with parental pressures to meet someone? The results were an amazing cast of characters, a fabulous love story, and a novel you definitely want to read! We can't say enough wonderful things about this book! Join us for a fantastic conversation with debut author, Naina Kumar.
