The third and final installment in Nisha Sharma’s beloved Shakespeare-inspired rom-com trilogy—an ode to Twelfth Night—is the perfect friends to lovers romp featuring an accidental wedding, meddling families, and plenty of sizzling chemistry.
Veera Mathur has been through a lot in the past year. Both of her friends found soul mates, the man she fell in love with got engaged to another woman, and her father fired her before selling the family company. When her twin sister, Sana, tells her there is no way of getting her old life back, Veera feels lost at sea: a single, unemployed mess with a bad tattoo and tons of talent, but nowhere to go.
Deepak Datta hasn’t had the best luck either. To secure enough board votes for the CEO position at his family's company, Illyria Media, he’s ready to marry board member and famous beauty influencer, Olivia Gupta. That is until he wakes up to a get ready with me video announcing their separation. Despite his immediate relief, Deepak needs to do something fast to repair his image.
After a series of convenient mishaps bring them together again—including a literal shipwreck, way too many drinks, and a sunset elopement on the beach—Deepak and Veera realize their accidental wedding, a marriage of convenience, might be the solution to their career aspirations. Together, they plot against the very company that ruined their lives in the first place.
As they try to convince the world their friendship was a ruse for romance they’ve felt all along, the line between fake and real begins to blur. Now Veera and Deepak must ask themselves the terrifying question that has haunted them since the first time they met: will love ruin everything?
With her signature humor and heartfelt storytelling, Nisha Sharma writes a messy, spicy Desi romance about identity, family honor, and love. In Marriage & Masti, readers are sure to love the highly anticipated finale of this beloved trilogy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Loosely inspired by Twelfth Night, Sharma's charming final If Shakespeare Was an Auntie romance finds twins Veera and Sana Mathur at a low point. Their father has just fired them and merged the family business, Mathur Financial Group, with a "global media empire" owned by the father of Deepak Datta, Veera's former best friend and secret crush. Determined to prove their worth, the sisters attempt to restart Mathur Financial on their own and head from New Jersey to a resort on the coast of Goa to drum up clients. The trip turns sour, however, after they lose their purses in a boating accident—with the hotel bill yet to be paid. The only person they trust to bail them out is Deepak, who drops everything to come help. While out drinking that night, Deepak and Veera meet an engaged couple who are unsure about the steps of their traditional Hindu wedding ceremony. To reassure them, Deepak and Veera provide a demonstration—and wake up the next morning realizing that, according to Indian custom, they are now actually married. It's messy, but they can both use the marriage to their professional advantage—if, that is, they can prove the validity of their elopement while ignoring their growing feelings for each other. Sharma's blend of comedic misunderstandings, Indian culture, and red-hot chemistry is a winning combo. Series fans will not be disappointed.
