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 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 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 will love ruin everything?
With her signature humor and heartfelt storytelling, Nisha Sharma writes a messy, spicy romance about identity, family honor, and love. In Marriage & Masti, readers are sure to love the highly anticipated finale of this beloved trilogy.

Family business
Veera was a strong, determined woman who lost confidence when it came to her estranged friendship with Deepak. She was unsure quite how she'd lost her confidente and her heart. How these two became reacquainted was serendipitous but the escalation from there was anything but.
I love a convenient arrangement between a couple. I'm not sure these two really needed to catch feelings, as there was so much depth to their connection previously. They just needed to admit it to themselves.
The sense of family on both sides was strong with Veera having some awful parentage and a slightly dodgy sibling relationship. I got all warm and fuzzy over Deepak's family and how they were with Veera. She needed and deserved that goodness and nurture.
The plot on the business side was good but the connection and chemistry dominated the pages, with plenty of sparks. It wasn't difficult to care for this couple and cheer them on.
