PRAISE FOR THE DESIGN OF US:

"The perfectly designed romcom."—Ali Hazelwood #1 New York Times bestselling author of Love, Theoretically

"Patel (
Isha, Unscripted) makes computer coding sexy in this winning enemies-to-lovers romance.... The supporting cast of Indian aunties charms, and the saltiness between the protagonists loses none of its oomph when it turns into sweetness. Readers will cheer for these two to find their well-deserved happily ever after."Publishers Weekly

"Patel (
Isha, Unscripted) expertly designs a modern beach read and a sassy rom-com filled with fun tropes and a gratifying slow burn."Library Journal

“The lushly detailed Hawaiian setting provides a vivid backdrop to their delicious slow-burn romance.” --
Booklist

ABOUT THE DESIGN OF US:

Bhanu is a sunshine-y, mildly anxious, work-obsessed UX designer. Despite her inability to fully unwind, she is excited to get away and spend some time in lush, tropical Hawaii with her sister. She is especially eager to leave behind her work nemesis and total killjoy, Sunny.

 

But fate has other plans.


It just so happens that Sunny is attending a destination wedding in Hawaii at the exact same beachside resort where Bhanu’s sister works—at precisely the same time as Bhanu’s visit.  Not only is Sunny crashing Bhanu’s vacation, but his ex-girlfriend is staying at the resort, too. When Sunny’s ex starts acting especially cruel in public, Bhanu claims to be his new girlfriend, just to shut the woman up. After all, they're in Hawaii, and this lady needs to calm down! But one little white lie snowballs into spending an entire vacation by Sunny’s side. It’s not long before the rival pair’s fake relationship, along with some forced proximity, leads to a real-life romance….

 

But all vacations must come to an end, and soon enough it’ll be back to daily bickering and, hopefully, Bhanu will beat Sunny out for that coveted promotion they both applied for… right?
