Reviews: Incense and Sensibility (1)
“A sweet and satisfying story of second-chance love”
(Paperback)
by Phyllis Evans
Thanks to the Book Club Girl Early Read program and NetGalley for a gifted digital copy. All comments and opinions are my own. Loved the title and the premise. No need to have any Jane Austen knowledge to enjoy this, even though author Sonali Dev continues her theme of retelling the Austen classics with an Indian-American angle in this third novel of the series. While this is the first one I read, I didn't find myself confused or feeling left out. The story takes place in Northern CA where I live and involves a governor's election - we've got one coming up so the topic was timely. This is above all a rom-com with an Indian/South Asian flavor, although the novel begins on a serious note with an assassination attempt. The characters are likeable, especially the hero (swoony) and heroine (deserving and honest). The plot is nicely complex with various secrets, family dynamics, sister relationships, misunderstandings, and fascinating behind-the-scenes election PR strategies. The topic of politics contrasts with yoga's beliefs of mental and spiritual well-being. Can these two people from different upbringings and backgrounds blend their ideologies and find true love? No spoilers here but it's a sweet and satisfying story of second-chance love. #IncenseandSensibility #NetGalley
