Priya and the Rebellion: A Second Chance Romance (Five Friends With Chai) Kindle Edition

by Sookh Kaur (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 123 ratings

Seven years ago, I ran away from home, leaving behind the love of my life.
But what happens when Jaghr Bains finds me again when I need him the most?

A water pipe bursts in my hair salon, and the business I’ve built with my blood, sweat, and tears is a damaged mess. The only contractor I can afford is…

You guessed it. Jaghr.
The man I had to walk away from.
He’s more gorgeous than I remembered. Broad shoulders, a beautiful beard, and that sexy motorcycle.

Being around him brings up unresolved heartache and so many what-ifs. But he also reminds me of the past, my forever disappointed Punjabi parents, and the terrible night when everything went wrong.

A second chance at love could break me, but it might be worth everything.

    I've been absolutely sucked into the world and characters for the last 2 days, and it's been lovely seeing how a different culture is still so very similar to my own. It's gotten me very curious about the recipes and foods mentioned- but what brought me to tears was the honest talk about mental health and the stigmas with it. I lost my cousin to suicide in October of last year and so many of the things resonated for me... Beautifully written...

    I never write reviews, but this book deserves it and so much more. Yes there is humor, romance, and the like, but what made this book stand it was the focus on mental health. This book made me cry right along with the main character, because the story feels so real. 5 stars.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Priya's Journey
    Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This was a welcome surprise to a subject that I feel strongly for which is depression. I lead with this to ask please be patient with Priya. She's placed on herself the hardships of someone she loved dearly absences. The first part is Priya trying to handle her overbearing parents concerning marriage and staying true to her Punjabi strict customs for it's women in America.

    Priya represented women all over the world that's taught to be submissive to the opposite sex as their only choice. She tries to handle dealing with her parent's overwhelming pressures and feeling love for herself for the first time make sense.

    This book is about her 2nd chance at love with the young man in her youth and putting herself back together again when she haven't one clue how to fix herself. I recommend this book the characters are exceptional and the dialogue flowed effortlessly.

    Priya and Jaghr are great together. I think this was the weakest of the first three books so far, but still 5 star worthy. That is mostly because I truly enjoyed getting to know the MCs and their families.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I don't write reviews, but this was a pleasant surprise
    Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2022
    Listen. I just wanted to read a nice, steamy romance novel. I'd read this author before (Jasmine's story) and enjoyed it. What I was NOT expecting was a seriously well written, emotional experience that had me tearing up! Whew, chile! Having dealt with depression and the stigma that most minority communities deal with involving therapy, as well as the grief of losing a dearly loved one and feeling like it's your fault resonated so deeply with me. I'm literally tearing up again writing this durn review. The romance between Jaghr and Priya was so heart achingly sweet. The chemistry was literally palpable. Never have I seen an author write tension in a way that doesn't become tedious after a while. It's was funny, heart rending, and just a beautiful story. I loved all of the culture that the author seemlessly wove into the story as well. Well done. Even though I did roll my eye a bit at the male lead growling (why they always gotta growl?), literally everything else was done amazingly. I don't write reviews. But this book deserves it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Relatable, feel-good and kept me hooked on
    Reviewed in India on June 7, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This is my first book by this author. I discovered it via the Fussy Librarian recommendations.

    The story was easily relatable. Priya is a brown kid raised in California. Her strict Punjabi upbringing is easy to imagine if you are familiar with Kal Ho Na Ho, Bend It Like Beckham, Lilly Singh or Planet Parle.

    At the heart of this story is the untimely death of Priya's teenaged brother. The author has tried to touch on serious themes of depression, suicide, survivor's guilt, therapy, support groups and general mental health awareness. For this alone, the author earned my admiration.

    The other things I thoroughly enjoyed were young Priya's pluck and aspirations (reminiscent of Band Baja Baraat's Shruti), her chemistry with Jaghr and her absolutely fantastic gang of girls.

    What I missed were Jaghr's narratives which stopped abruptly, and the lack of proof-reading. The latter is a thorn in the side when reading this otherwise immersive book.

    I liked the writing style and the pace of the story.The scene describing Priya in an all-black ensemble when she first drives with Jaghr made me laugh for 5 minutes straight. And the scenes in the end made me teary-eyed. Overall, a feel-good and chick-flick kind of book. Totally my type :)

    I also liked how the other girls were hinted at having their own stories (the author seems to have a book dedicated to exploring each of these 5 friends). I might like to read books 1, 3 and 4 (Priya's is book 2 in the series).

    5.0 out of 5 stars A romance that made me cry for completely different reasons
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 11, 2021

    5 stars for a fantastic novel that made me smile but also cry.

    I cried when Priya decided to give back. I cried tears because of my own family experience with depression and loss of life. I cried happy tears at the thought of someone breaking down the barriers of stigma that run so deep in our communities. I applaud the author for addressing a topic in her own way, that needed addressing by elders 20 years ago in our communities, but is only being addressed now by the younger members. Mental health affects everyone, from the person experiencing it, to the people surrounding that person be it friends or family. And the author has done this beautifully. All whilst giving us a fantastic modern romance too. This is the second book I've read of Sookh's and the previous one was just as good. Looking forward to the others!

    An honest and raw story filled with so much heart. Sookh Kaur is a very talented writer. Her ability to convey emotion throughout this story is incredible. Kaur delicately writes about the pressures of being a Punjabi woman but also the joy when you find your freedom and voice. We also follow the sweetest romance between two characters who meet again after seven years of no contact. I would give this book a thousand stars if I could!

    This was a really well put together romance.
    Haters to lovers to an individual hater to lovers again. Make sense? Don't worry, this book is a WHIRLWIND.

    Content Warning: depression, suicide, ongoing trauma.

    Loved:
    -The pacing was perfect, an easy read, with the writing being just what I needed to gobble this up at speed.
    - I found the characters we meet to be well developed.
    - I appreciate the way many triggering topics were incorporated into the story and handled throughout. I learned things about South Asian culture and cultural pressures that particularly women face in their day to day live which really opened my eyes.
    - Priyas group of friends are #goals. What an amazing bunch of strong, supportive women.
    We found out just enough about each character for them to read as relatable and likeable in some way. Not only was I rooting for Priya through this book, but all of her girls too.
    - All of the food references. YUM!
    - That ending *chefs kiss* I was about 94% in and wondering how on earth Kaur was going to wrap this up. They managed it perfectly.

    Disliked:
    - There was somewhat of a lack of proofreading, which became more obvious as the book went on. There were a few occasions where the sentences did not read properly, which unfortunately upset the flow of the writing.
    - I would have liked to have been made more privy to Jaghrs life/perspective during this book. His narratives come to an abrupt stop perhaps 1/3 of the way in, and while I understand this is a choice that perhaps fits with the circumstances that occur throughout Priyas life, it would have been great to read and understand these circumstances/topics through the eyes of Jaghr too.
    - In the same vein, I kinda wish Jaghr wasn't SO perfect, but then again he is solely being described by Priya for the majority of the book..

    Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My first from this author which has turned out to be an easy read romance that manages to cover many deeper, more important topics in an engaging and useful way.
    Likeable characters with a happy ending.
