The Key to Happily Ever After centers around the de la Rosa sisters, Marisol, Janelyn & Pearl, who have just stepped up to take over their parents’ successful DC wedding planning business together. But in the middle of planning weddings and budding romances, will these three sisters be able to find a way to work together without their family falling apart?

What is your favorite rom-com film featuring a wedding aspect? While I have major love for 27 Dresses and The Wedding Planner, I knew immediately that I was going to pick Bride Wars. I’ve seen that movie so many times, and I still love it just as much every single time. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt and I just truly enjoy it.

Sweetie Nair is a top-notch track athlete, an incredible singer and an all-around wonderful girl. But all her mother seems to care about is the fact that Sweetie is fat and how that needs to change so that Sweetie’s life will ultimately be better. Ashish Patel, on the other hand, is still heartbroken after being dumped by his cheating ex-girlfriend. Determined to call his parents’ bluff about them being capable of finding him a better match, Ashish agrees to have them set him up with an Indian-American girl… complete with contracted, parent-approved dates and all. That is how Sweetie and Ashish meet initially, but neither one expects the spark between them. As they grow closer with every date, will they be able to stay true to themselves and find a way to really be together?

Was there something at school you were really passionate about? This is a little difficult for me, as I was interested in a lot of things we did as a batch (school trips, sports festivals, theater & drama) in school. But I guess, were I to mention something I was particularly interested in (and excellent at), it was the SRA sessions - because I used to be sorted into the top level and once I finished that, I could read whatever I wanted.
P.S. If you want more of Dimple & Rishi, and a teensy bit more of Ashish & Sweetie, you might want to check out As Kismet Would Have It! It’s a delightful short story that takes place after the events of When Dimple Made Rishi, and it made me so happy when I read it.

Great reviews! I have a copy of The Key to Happily Ever After, and totally thought it was a romance. I'll go into it knowing that, and hopefully will help me enjoy the story more now that I know that.
