Radha & Jai's Recipe for Romance

Written by Nisha Sharma

Narrated by Mayuri Bhandari and Neil Shah

To All the Boys I Loved Before meets World of Dance in this delectable love story that combines food, dance, and a hint of drama to cook up the perfect romance.

Radha is on the verge of becoming one of the greatest kathak dancers in the world . . . until a family betrayal costs her the biggest competition of her life. Now she has left her Chicago home behind to follow her stage mom to New Jersey. At the Princeton Academy of the Arts, Radha is determined to leave performing in her past and reinvent herself from scratch.

Jai is captain of the Bollywood Beats dance team, ranked first in his class, and is an overachiever with no college plans. Tight family funds means medical school is a pipe dream, which is why he wants to make the most out of high school. When Radha enters his life, he realizes she's the exact ingredient he needs for a show-stopping senior year.

With careful choreography, both Radha and Jai will need to face their fears (and their families) if they want a taste of a happily ever after.

"A tasty treat! Nisha Sharma always delights." --MEG CABOT, author of The Princess Diaries

4/5 stars!

When a disaster happened at an important dancing competition, Radha had a lot to cope with as she moved from Chicago to New Jersey to start at a new school. There she meets Jai, who has his own troubles within his family. The two fall in love as they deal with personal issues, school, future, and family in this YA romance.

This is a nice story featuring strong yet flawed main characters. I enjoyed the hero's family dynamics that included some touching scenes. And though the heroine's family went through a lot, I liked the closeness the heroine had with her cousin and father. This book also featured dance as a focal point in this book and I enjoyed reading about it, especially the Kathak dance. As a personal preference I wanted more details in some parts. Overall, I enjoyed it and look forward to reading more Nisha Sharma books in the future.
