Incense and Sensibility by Sonali Dev: Review

Incense and Sensibility book cover

Incense and Sensibility – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jane Austen, but make it desi! I just love the concept behind Sonali Dev’s latest romance series – a reimagining of classic Austen tales featuring 21st century desi leads.

Incense and Sensibility, similar to its inspiration, Sense and Sensibility, explores themes of family, love, and responsibility. Yash, eldest son of the influential Raje family, is the first Indian-American gubernatorial candidate for the state of California. When his friend is critically injured by a hate crime at one of his rallies, Yash’s world is shaken. At his next campaign event, he blacks out with panic.

With the election so close, his family urge him to seek immediate help in the form of his sister’s best friend – India Dashwood (someone they can trust not to leak Yash’s condition to the media). India runs her family’s yoga studio and is currently California’s foremost stress management coach.
