Two sisters face the real consequences of a fake marriage scheme in an emotional yet hilarious novel about immigration, healing, and family from USA Today bestselling author Sonali Dev. Two sisters. One fake marriage. Zero chance of keeping the truth hidden. The Naik sisters escaped their traumatic past in Mumbai to come to the States, but their journeys have been vastly different. Simi is working toward a bright future as a pediatric nurse in a small town in Kentucky when Rupi shows up at her door in distress, on the run, and as always, dragging trouble in her wake. With Rupi’s safety in jeopardy, the sisters hatch a desperate plan to keep her in the country: Rupi must get married―and fast―even if it means Simi recruiting the man she’s been secretly dating as her sister’s groom. A perfect plan? Not quite. But there aren’t many alternatives. As the big day inches closer, Simi and Rupi face a storm of wedding shenanigans and romantic surprises, not to mention sisterly jealousies. As the stakes and tensions rise, will their secrets tear them apart or will they find a way to risk everything for love? “Big-hearted, funny, and full of emotional fire, How Simi Got Her Groom Back is a poignant story of love, loyalty, and the ties that bind―even when everything else falls apart.” ―Jill Shalvis, New York Times bestselling author of He Falls First Praise for Sonali Dev “Dev writes with such rare empathy and humor that I often found myself holding my breath on one page only to be giggling by the next.
