'Strictly At Work' by Sudha Nair is an Indian Rom-Com.Simi, works at a furniture company in marketing department along with her best friend Deepa. Their office (situated close to Simi's house) is stuffy and uncomfortable, so they are transferred to a new office at Bizworks.Ranvir, works at Bizworks too but in different company - Fintura along with his best friend Abhi. Ranvir lives with his girlfriend in living relationship.At Bizworks, they all (Ranvir, Simi, Deepa & Abhi) bump into each other. With time they become good friends.Simi & Ranvir knew Deepa & Abhi had feelings for each other but no one wanna confess or take one step ahead. So they (Simi & Ranvir) came up with a plan of bringing them together.Simi want to be with Ranvir (Ranvir too has feelings for her) but he is committed and unfortunately she is soon going to marry Karan (Arrange Marriage)💔Will their plan of bringing Deepa & Abhi succeed? Will Simi & Ranvir end up together or will be left with regrets only..?I love the plot and the Indian Culture, Tradition, Songs (DDLJ), etc feom the book. The author has talk about Indian weddings and Festival, which made me visualize the scenes. The part which I loved from the book was the scenes from Holi. Also, the author has talk about women empowerment like how a woman follows her passion, knowing her worth and doing what she desires over just tolerating domestic violence. Apart from that i loved how it ended.I recommend this book to the everyone especially the readers who love reading Romcoms. I bet you will love the way it ends😍🤍

Breezy, entertaining lovestory!
Ranvir works at a Finance startup as an analyst and Simi works at a furniture company in the marketing department. As Simi is elated to move to the new co-working space Bizworks, she bumps into Ranvir on her first day at the new office. As Simi’s best friend Deepa starts dating Ranvir’s friend Abhi, they four keep meeting for lunch and snack breaks.Ranvir is in a live-in relationship from five years with his college-mate Parul, while Simi is being prodded by her family to marry Karan, Simi’s family friend. The attraction is mutual between Simi and Ranvir, though they are also aware that they are committed to their respective partners. Will Simi and Ranvir realize their true feelings for each other forms the rest of the story.The concept of love blossoming between strangers at a co-working space is fresh and makes for a good backdrop. For all of us missing our workplace, the gossip and daily fun associated with it for the past year, this story will bring in warm memories and nostalgia. Both Simi and Ranvir are characters that are relatable, real and contemporary. Even the extended traits and hobbies of the characters like crocheting and doodling are well woven into the narrative.The inclusion of families of the protagonists makes the story a wholesome entertainer while touching on how our decisions often are influenced by our immediate family, their support or lack of it. I would have loved more of Parul, beyond her constantly planning for a holiday. This is my fourth book from the author Sudha and though all are love stories, I love how each has a different backdrop.All love stories generally have few options for an ending, hence the narration takes the center stage; the first half is fun and establishes the characters, while the second half caters to the emotions. Pick this one for a breezy, entertaining read, especially if you prefer contemporary love stories.
