Falling For You

Rate this book
“Good morning, Ajju,” Gauri Sharma wished Arjun, grinning mischievously.

“How can it be good when you blessed us with your presence,” Arjun shot back at her.

“If I can tolerate your presence and still be happy, why can’t you do the same?” Gauri quipped, sticking her tongue out at him, loving how easily she could ruffle his feathers.

**

Gauri Sharma is a vibrant and cheerful soul, radiating positivity wherever she goes. Her infectious energy and kindness touch everyone she meets, making her impossible to ignore. She’s loved by all—except for Arjun Kapoor. Their mutual dislike is as fierce as it is entertaining.

Arjun Kapoor is undeniably handsome, with a rugged charm that turns heads wherever he goes. His confidence often comes across as rude and arrogant, but underneath that tough exterior lies a sweet and caring side—reserved only for those he truly holds dear. Unfortunately for Gauri, she’s not one of them. Despite his softer side, he has never shown her the same warmth.

What happens when two worlds that couldn’t be more different collide? When the unexpected becomes the inevitable? The sparks fly, the tension builds, and the line between love and hate becomes dangerously thin. It’s the kind of clash neither could have predicted, but one that changes everything forever.

Embark on the rollercoaster journey of Gauri Sharma and Arjun Kapoor—a path marked by fiery arguments, unexpected chemistry, and a deep, passionate pull that neither can ignore.
Their story is a whirlwind of intense emotions, where love and conflict intertwine, pulling them closer even as they try to push each other away.

This is a story of Gauri and Arjun. Gauri is in love with Arjun's brother Aarav, and is deciding to get married to him. She talks in his family and her family and everything goes well, and they all are ready to get them married and the preparations of marriage is going on very nicely and very smoothly, but Aarav does not love Gauri back. He is in love with somebody else, but is not able to confess it to his family because he thinks that his family will get hurt in the process now on the marriage day when they both are sitting on the mandap, Maya comes and announces that she and Aarav are in love and the whole family gets a shock. Now they all take a pause and decides what to do so the decision that is taken is to get married Aarav with Maya and Arjun with Gauri. They all request Arjun to accept Gauri as his wife, and also, they request Gauri to accept Arjun as her husband, they both agree but because of their family reputation not by their heart. Now the things are going on their marriage. life is going on. Nobody is happy. Aarav and Maya are not happy because they feel guilty. Arjun and Gauri are not happy because they are not in love. But as time passes by the truth comes out that Arjun has always loved Gauri. He was always there for Gauri. He has done so many things for Gauri without letting her know when Gauri comes to know all the truth, she asks herself that whether was she ever in love with Aarav or not, she finds the answer within herself only that she was never in love with Aarav, maybe there was infatuation, but not love, and when they both realised that they had to convince this to each other, they both do, they both shower love on each other. Both the couples get their happy ending.
Now overall rating is 4/5 ⭐️ I really loved the book the concept of enemies to lovers, arrange marriage, forced proximity and marriage of convenience is so nice and so well written that I was really impressed with the book. If you love these tropes and a story with Indian drama. You all should definitely read this book and give it a try.

Love makes you do bizarre things. Sometimes it makes you go crazy and sometimes it makes you behave out of yourself.

In the case of Gauri and Arjun, there was only hate. They can't tolerate each other's presence. There is always a fight whenever they cross paths. But unfortunately, destiny has other plans. In strange circumstances, they both got married. A sudden marriage brought more hate to their relationship. Gauri lost the love of his life, and for Arjun, it was like walking on the fire. Their fights increased, and it was always a tense situation when they were around each other. How will they survive this unwanted marriage?? Why did they get married?? Does this marriage have any future??
Yes, the questions are too many, but there is one sure thing: there is the hilarious bantering between Arjun and Gauri about their unknown feelings for each other and the relationship that was forced on them. They are the best example of whatever happens, happens for good.

A quick, fast-paced read that will make you smile, blush, laugh and desire.

Gauri Sharma and Arjun Kapoor had been enemies since they knew each other filled with funny banters, teasing remarks, unstoppable arguments and much more. Gauri was in love with her sister's first brother-in-law Aarav and were about to marry him but fate had other plans when Gauri got married with her sister's second brother-in-law Arjun.
The unexpected incident took toll on everyone's mental health especially Gauri and is there any chance that these two different world to get united and can Gauri ever fall for her husband?

The book is a simple and sweet cozy Indian romance book. Though I felt the book was slow paced initially, it turned engaging on entering the core part of the story. I have especially liked a certain theme of the story which blended well with the plot.

The characters were vibrant, lively, dramatic and entertaining giving it a perfect Bollywood style vibes.

I recommend this to those who enjoy arranged marriage with a twist and desi romances.

The story starts with Gauri who had a crush on Arav, to try and make her love to arrange marriage but destiny had different plans. Gauri had to marry Arjun, her enemy since childhood. And her life changed. But it was amazing to read the growth of their relationship from hate to love and everything in between. Their banter was just amazing.
Falsely believing that Aarav was behind all the good things that had happened to her which made her have that crush, gauri later realised it was Arjun all along. And the way she made her proposal, her upfront conversations, her bold carefree nature, it was all so wonderfully written. Arjun was a sweetheart too.
Overall i just enjoyed the story that had me hooked and I just read it in one Go.... I would definitely recommend it.

This was such a cute and short romanctic story, I loved it. The book follows the story of Gauri who was supposed to marry her longtime crush Aarav, but because of a cruel twist of destiny she ends up marrying Arjun, Aarav's younger brother and her sworn enemy.

I loved their chemistry, the way they always fought with each regarding little things and their cute little banters was so fun to read.

Gauri was a jolly and a bubbly girl. I loved it whenever she stood up for Arjun and said only she was allowed to tease him and nobody else, it was so cute. I also loved it whenever she got jealous and possessive of him, it was so fun.

Arjun my man, I absolutely loved him. He was such a supportive and caring guy. The way he always protected Gauri and loved her, it was amazing. I honestly felt so bad for him when he thought Gauri might never love him as she was in love with his brother. But later when Gauri realised it has been Arjun all along, and proposed to him I loved it.

Another thing which I liked about this book was the character of Ragini, Gauri's elder sister she was literally the backbone of the Kapoor family and always helped out everyone whenever they faced a problem.

Overall this was a great book. The writing is engaging and very fast paced. The book also reminded me of a show which I used to watch and loved . If you love reading desi romances with lots of drama then you should read this book.

I really liked this book. it was fun, short, cute and to the point.
the starting 60 pages honestly so dramatic and reminded me of indian serials (in a good way.) I lovedd seeing the drama.
what i loved the most was how she slowly came to realize Arjun's feelings and his silent gestures. she took her time in accepting the fact and it was honestly fair enough.
Arjun is a sweet MMC who loved her and is the definition of a guy who's love language is acts of service and this proves it:

"As usual, he placed a packet of biscuits on the table. It had become their routine— Gauri would get hungry at midnight since she wasn’t eating properly during the day, and she’d munch on those biscuits that were always there for her. This little habit had become their unspoken tradition, bringing a strange kind of comfort to both of them."

the turn from:
"As the doors swung open, Gauri’s heart raced— not with excitement, but with the bitter taste of resignation. Everything was over now. She was finally going to marry him— a man she couldn’t even imagine sharing a bus ride with, let alone a life."

to this:
“But I love you, Arjun. More than anyone or anything in this world. You are my first and last love. It has always been you. I was just too stupid to realise it.”

was perfect.

I loved seeing a certain female character too and I'm glad she didn't take the traditionally predictable "evil" roots.

the only reason it's not more highly rated is because honestly, Gauri irritated me a lot in the beginning. And while it is 100% understandable to see her grow into the person she did, by the end, she did irritate me😬🤷‍♀️.

with that being said, i loved reading this and had a really great time.

if you want a short, quick, arranged marriage enemies-to-lovers desi romance, i definitely recommend this.

This is a beautiful coming-of-age story of a young girl and how she ends up with her happily ever after.

Gauri, bubbly and pretty, just has one dream—to marry her crush, Aarav, her sister’s elder devar. But there’s a thorn in her side, a person she just can’t tolerate—Aarav’s youngest brother, Arjun.

Sharing a Tom-and-Jerry relationship, they are always bickering over something. But secretly, he’s crushing over her. Somehow, much to Gauri’s delight and Aarav and Arjun’s reluctance, their marriage gets fixed, and D-day finally arrives. This is where the chaos unfolds. What happens in this wedding? Whom does Gauri end up marrying in this love triangle? Or does fate have something else in store for her?

Gauri is a total riot. Her journey from the brattish, stubborn girl to the mature and sensitive daughter-in-law of the Kapoor household is so beautiful. I love her exuberant nature, bringing laughter and smiles wherever she goes. Despite life throwing her a curveball, and despite being angry at first, the way she overcomes her anger and accepts her new life and family is such a refreshing read. And her banter and romance with Arjun? It’s the highlight of the story.

Arjun is my favourite. Hot in a roughish way, he’s sexy and unfiltered. A total loverboy but also a complete family man. In love with Gauri since forever, he is unable to confess his love, watching her choose Aarav over him every damn time. I actually felt like shaking Gauri a bit for being so blind and hurting this awesome man. Their banter is funny and electrifying, like you can sense the spark right through the pages. But after fate decides to play Cupid, he sheds off all his inhibitions and goes all out to win Gauri. The subtle flirting, the casual yet intentional touches… uff, it’s so dreamy and so romantic.

Another highlight is the close-knit family. I love their dynamics—be it mother-son, bhabhi-devar, brotherly bond, and even the teen bahuraniya and their sasuma bond. And the epilogue, it’s just wow.

Full of love, laughter, and family love, this is a cute and short read.

I just finished reading this book, and I'm still reeling from the experience. The story of Gauri and Arjun is a masterclass in romance, with a slow-burning tension that simmers beneath the surface. Their banter is witty and engaging, and their chemistry is palpable. I loved watching Gauri grow from a feisty, stubborn girl to a mature, loving partner. Her journey is relatable, and her emotions are authentic. Arjun, on the other hand, is the perfect blend of rough-around-the-edges and sweetheart. His secret crush on Gauri had me rooting for him from the start.

What I loved most about this book is the way it captures the complexities of relationships. Gauri and Arjun's romance isn't just about grand gestures; it's about the little moments, the stolen glances, and the quiet moments of understanding. The author has a way of making you feel like you're part of the story, like you're right there with the characters as they navigate their feelings. The supporting cast is equally well-developed, particularly the Kapoor family. Their dynamics are warm, humorous, and sometimes a little quirky, but ultimately, they're a family that loves and supports each other.

The writing is engaging, and the pacing is spot-on. I devoured this book in a few sittings, and I couldn't put it down. The epilogue is the perfect ending to Gauri and Arjun's story, leaving you with a sense of satisfaction and happiness. If you're looking for a romance that will make you laugh, cry, and feel all the feels, this book is for you. It's a beautiful story about love, family, and finding your place in the world. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good romance. The characters will stay with you long after you finish reading, and you'll find yourself thinking about them and their journey for a long time. Overall, it's a wonderful read that I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a feel-good romance.

Falling for You” by Rehana Siraj completely took me by surprise (in the best way). It’s one of those stories that starts off feeling light and fun, then slowly pulls you into a world full of emotion, charm, and beautifully complicated relationships.

The story centers around Gauri Sharma, who’s passionate, impulsive, and full of big dreams—especially the one where she marries her longtime crush, Aarav. But life has other plans. Instead, she ends up in an arranged marriage with Arjun Kapoor, Aarav’s younger brother—the quiet, serious guy she’s never gotten along with.

Cue the tension, the awkward family dinners, and all the fiery banter you could ask for.
At first, Gauri and Arjun seem like complete opposites, and watching them try to navigate their unexpected marriage is as entertaining as it is emotional. Their relationship is full of friction and misunderstandings, but slowly (and beautifully), that friction turns into something deeper.

What really hit me was how real their connection felt—it’s not insta-love; it’s earned, and that made it all the more satisfying.
Arjun is such a standout character. He’s the kind of guy who loves quietly, patiently, and deeply—he’s been in love with Gauri for years, but never said a word out of respect and fear.
And Gauri? Her growth is amazing to witness. She goes from chasing a fantasy version of love to recognizing the steady, selfless love Arjun offers her. Their journey is emotional and raw in all the best ways.

There were moments that made me laugh, moments that made me blush (yes, that strawberry custard scene!), and moments that just melted my heart.
Rehana’s writing flows effortlessly—there’s warmth, drama, humor, and an emotional depth that keeps you hooked from beginning to end.

If you’re into slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romances with arranged marriage twists, emotional payoffs, and a dash of cultural charm, Falling for You is one to add to your TBR. Trust me, you won’t regret it.

I just finished Falling For You by Rehana Siraj and I have no idea where to start right now. You know those books that sneak up on you? You start reading thinking it’ll be a fun romance and then suddenly you’re up at 3 a.m., completely invested, grinning like an idiot, and secretly wishing you were part of that fictional world? Yeah… that’s exactly what this book did to me.

I love the energy of the story. It was about all the chaos, the messiness, the teasing, and the way every little interaction just sparked. The characters had such strong personalities, and the way they clashed, argued, and yet couldn’t resist gravitating toward each other, it was addictive. Every scene carried this mix of laughter and tension that made it impossible to stop reading.

And can we talk about the way the author captures family dynamics? It felt so real, the love, the drama, the unspoken emotions hiding behind every word. I think that’s what made the book so interesting for me. It’s that feeling of belonging, of warmth, of being tangled in relationships that are messy but still so precious. Reading it felt like being in the middle of a family gathering where everything is noisy and chaotic, but in the best way possible.

I loved how the romance wasn’t rushed. It built up slowly, with so much banter and resistance that when the emotions finally started to peek through, it hit so much harder. It’s not the kind of story where everything is perfect, it’s flawed, it’s complicated, but that’s exactly what makes it beautiful. You get to see growth, change, and those vulnerable moments that sneak up on you when you least expect them.

Let me start from the beginning. The cover was so cute and pretty; I was instantly attracted to it, and then the FMC's name is Gauri (one of my friends' names is also Gauri.) The book started with a fun and pretty hilarious scene of both MCs appearing in each other's dream and annoying each other. That was such a fresh start and got me instantly hooked.

Gauri is a bold, fun, loving, charming, vibrant, and cheerful person. Her energy and laugh are so contagious that they make everyone love her. Arjun, the handsome boy, is sweet, caring, and sometimes rude as well. Their chemistry is undeniable and electrical, and their banter is the most fun part of the book.

The writing of the author was amazing; it was well written and actually reminded me of Indian TV serials, but good ones. The transition of Gauri from "I hate Arjun" to "I deeply love Arjun" was great, but to be honest, I felt Gauri's action was a bit irritating in between, but afterwards it turned out well.

The side characters are absolute charm and chef's kiss. Aarav, Maya, Ram, Ragini, their mother-in-law, and the cutie pie Ruhi. Every side character made this book more engaging and lovely. Aarav is one of my favorite characters in the book; he was so soft, calm, and a people pleaser. He is a softie, and he won my heart. The sister bonding between Gauri and Ragini is heartwarming.

Overall, I loved the book, the characters, the story, the writing, and the cover. I'd definitely recommend the book to all romance lovers.

Okay, can I have Arjun? What's wrong with me? Idk. You tell me. A man who's obsessed with you since forever. A man who loved you his entire life. Ofc, I'd want him🤌🏻

Honestly, when I started this book I was like why's it so dramatic? Is it needed? As I read further, I understood yes, it was needed for the spice that came later on. The storyline & plot twist of this book are amazing. Didn't see them coming. What makes it more special is the flashback thing, it makes it interesting🫶🏻

The beginning of the book was amazing. He was haunting her in her dreams, hello? Well, Gauri is a girl full of life & energy. She has loved Aarav her whole life but does he love her back? Gauri was supposed to become Aarav's bride but did she? You'll know. On the other hand, Arjun (Aarav's younger brother) is a one-woman man🥵 He has loved Gauri his whole life but never confessed his love because he knew that Gauri has feelings for Aarav. Gauri was about to get married to Aarav but a twist of destiny- She had to marry Arjun whom she hated the most. He'd even haunt her in her dreams. Will they fall in love?😉💅🏻

I loved the spicy & cute moments of this book like the strawberry custard one. Even, I was blushing🤭 The trio of Ragini, Gauri & Maya was amazing. Arjun's confessions were too cute & I loved it! The ending was quite beautiful. Overall, I liked this book. The author's writing style is good. It was my first read by Rehana & I liked it.✨

The story starts with Gauri, who had a crush on Aarav. She was determined to turn her love into an arranged marriage, but fate had other plans. Under unexpected circumstances, she had to marry Arjun—Aarav’s younger brother and her enemy since childhood (or so she thought. Maybe there was something deeper hidden beneath his rude behavior toward her). To find out what happens next when sworn enemies get married, you’ll have to read the book!

What I loved the most about this book:

The side characters are amazing—there isn't a single dull moment.

How Arjun cared for Gauri, even when she had no idea who had been looking out for her since childhood.

Maya—how bravely she stood up for her love.

And the family dynamics—I absolutely loved their family!


Their banter? Off the charts.
Their chemistry? Undeniable.

From the start, Gauri believed it was Aarav who cared for her, but as the story unfolds and pieces fall into place, she realizes it was Arjun all along. The way she made her proposal—bold and fiery—was beautifully written. And Arjun… what a man!

And not to forget—I hate Ritika. The way she sowed seeds of doubt in Gauri’s mind about Arjun made me want to slap her hard.

I highly recommend this book to all romance lovers—it’s unique and will keep you hooked until the very end.

"When enemies become lovers... and love feels like home 💕📖"


Falling for You is an adorable and heartwarming romance filled with love, laughter, and beautiful family moments.

The story follows Gauri Sharma and Arjun Kapoor, two people who have been fighting like cats and dogs since childhood. Gauri is all set to marry her childhood crush, Aarav—who also happens to be Arjun’s brother. But just when the wedding is about to happen, Aarav’s true love shows up and stops everything. In a surprising twist, Gauri ends up marrying Arjun—the guy she always found annoying!

What happens when you marry someone you've always claimed to hate? That’s where the fun begins!

I absolutely loved how the author showed the importance of family in this story. Characters like Ram and Ragini were so sweet and caring—they truly stole my heart 💜.

My favorite characters were Aarav and Maya. Their story was so simple, yet you just can’t ignore them. Okay fine, I admit—I have a major second lead syndrome! 🤭

The chemistry between Arjun and Gauri was electric, and Arjun’s love and care for Gauri were so touching. His confession? Totally melted my heart!

If you're looking for a cute romance with lovable characters and a warm family vibe, this book is perfect! 💕

Gauri has been head over heels for her sister’s brother-in-law Aarav since forever. Childhood crush types. But when her wedding day came, life did the most filmy plot twist… her groom wasn’t Aarav, it was Arjun. The same Arjun she couldn’t stand, the one she wouldn’t even look in the eye without rolling hers. And now they were married.

The beginning had all the drama, all the tension and all the bickering you can imagine. But somewhere in between, the story started to melt my heart. I’m such a family-loving person and the Kapoor family was just… chef’s kiss. Their unity, their warmth, their pure love for each other. No nazar.

Gauri was easy going and fun, but having Arjun as a husband felt like the ultimate nightmare. Slowly, the truth started to come out and they both realised maybe the other person wasn’t that bad after all. Their constant back and forth was honestly hilarious. And Arjun? Let’s be real… he was hot. Keeping her favourite biscuits, following her house rituals, picking her favourite lehenga… this man was doing everything.

I devoured this book and the last chapters with the kids made me feel so cozy I didn’t want it to end. If you like enemies to lovers with lots of family love and some laugh-out-loud moments, this is such a good pick.

A captivating tale of love, hate, and destiny : Falling for you
Honestly, this book was such a fun surprise! I went in expecting a simple romance, but this story had so much more - family drama, hilarious banter, and a love-hate relationship that kept me hooked till the end.

It starts with Gauri crushing on Aarav, the picture-perfect elder brother, but destiny clearly had other plans. She ends up married to Arjun - her enemy since forever, the one guy she can’t stand being in the same room with. And oh my god, the sparks between them (yep enemies to lovers).

From constant fighting and sarcastic digs to those soft little moments where their walls start to crack - I loved every bit of it.

What I really enjoyed was how real their journey felt. Love didn’t come easy; it was messy, fiery, and filled with misunderstandings, but that made it even more worth it. Arjun’s bold, carefree nature and Gauri’s fiery spirit balanced each other so well. By the end, I was rooting for them so hard.

It’s a fast-paced, entertaining read that’ll make you laugh, roll your eyes, and maybe even blush a little. If you’re into enemies-to-lovers with a good dose of family drama, this one’s definitely worth picking up!

I finished reading Falling for You and it was such a cute and lovely story 💕. The book is about Gauri, who always liked her crush Aarav, but ends up getting married to his younger brother Arjun. At first, it felt like watching a fun Indian serial (but not the boring type 😅). I really loved the Kapoor family bond, the nok-jhok between the couples, and the sweet mother-son and brothers’ bond 🤍.

What made me enjoy this story even more was how Gauri and Arjun’s relationship grew. They started with fights and misunderstandings, but slowly that turned into real love. Arjun’s character was my favorite quiet, caring, and loving her since childhood without saying anything 🥺. Gauri’s journey was also beautiful, from running behind a crush to finally seeing the true love Arjun had for her. Their love didn’t feel rushed, it was slow and pure, which made it so perfect ❤️.

This book had everything family love, cute romance, funny banter, and even moments that made me blush (yes, that strawberry custard scene 👀). The writing felt simple and warm, and it made me smile all through the book. Falling for You is a heart-touching, sweet read that I totally recommend if you love arranged marriage + enemies-to-lovers stories 🌸.

This book follows Gauri and Arjun, two people who can’t stand each other but end up getting married because of unexpected circumstances. Gauri, who once dreamed of marrying someone else, finds herself tied to Arjun, the very person she never imagined being with. What starts off as constant arguments and misunderstandings slowly shifts into a relationship built on care, respect, and quiet love.

I liked how Gauri’s character grows through the story...she begins as a pampered girl who always wants things her way, but gradually learns to adjust, mature, and take responsibility. Arjun’s character is the opposite..calm and patient which balances her out beautifully.

The family aspect adds a lot of warmth, showing strong bonds between siblings, parents, and in-laws. It makes the story feel grounded and relatable. Secondary characters like Ragini also stand out and add more depth to the narrative.

Overall, it’s a simple yet heartfelt story about love that grows in unexpected ways, and how two opposites slowly find their place with each other.

Absolutely must read for me ✨❤️in love with this book 💓

This book had me hooked with its chaotic yet beautifully tangled story of love, misunderstandings, and destiny. Falling For You revolves around Gauri, who is set to marry Arav—her long-time obsession and Arjun’s middle brother. But fate has other plans, and she unexpectedly ends up married to Arjun instead.

What stood out to me was the slow-burning, electric chemistry between Gauri and Arjun. Their dynamic reminded me so much of Tom and Jerry—always at odds, yet deeply connected. Their banter was fiery, their silences louder than words, and the tension? Absolutely magnetic.

What truly touched my heart was Arjun’s quiet care. He protects and supports Gauri in ways she never notices, without ever seeking credit. That silent love, the hidden gestures—so pure, so emotional. You could feel something simmering between them, even if it began as dislike. The emotional depth and the witty, hate-turned-affection dynamic made this a compelling read.

If you’re a fan of chaotic love stories where destiny plays its own hand, this one’s for you. ❤️🔥

Falling for You by Rehana is a sweet story of love, family, and destiny.

Gauri, a cheerful girl, has always dreamed of marrying her crush, Aarav. But life surprises her when she ends up marrying his younger brother, Arjun the one she always fights with. What starts as constant arguments slowly turns into love, and their fun banter becomes the most beautiful part of their story.

Gauri’s journey from being stubborn and carefree to becoming a loving part of the Kapoor family is heartwarming. Arjun, caring and protective, has loved her silently for years, and watching him finally win her heart is pure magic. Their chemistry is playful, emotional, and so romantic that it will make you smile and blush while reading.

The story also celebrates family bonds sisters, brothers, and in-laws who add depth and warmth to every page. And the ending ties everything together with the perfect happily ever after.

Short, light, and full of love, Falling for You is a beautiful desi romance that leaves you with a happy heart. 💖

Falling for you, is a realistic, fast-paced love story where that traces the ups and downs of believing you are in love, only to realize there is a big difference between a crush and actual attraction that manifests into trust, caring, and wanting to spend the rest of your life with your 'soul mate'.

Protagonist Gauri Sharma is a feisty young lady, who believes her true love has been handed to her on a platter. Life takes an unexpected twist though, forcing her to take a step back and analyze life and the people around her.

Arjun Kapoor is a talented, 'dream-boat', the man every young girl wants in her life, except Gauri.

Sparks fly when fate entwines their lives.

Author Rehana Siraj has cleverly crafted this love story, ensuring its not cliched. She has presented the realities of life in the form of devoted sons, respectful brothers, and the pain and joy of true love.

I recommend romance lovers of all ages must read this book as it's truly an enjoyable read.

Gauri Sharma and Arjun Kapoor have hated each other since they were kids…but fate had other plans. Gauri was supposed to marry his elder brother, Aarav. Yes, you read that right. Aarav. But destiny threw a wild twist, and guess who she ends up marrying? Arjun.

The same Arjun who’s infuriatingly handsome, protective, and secretly in love with Gauri all along 😭💘

Their relationship is a full-blown rollercoaster—there’s tension, heartbreak, longing, and that slow-burn chemistry that leaves you screaming into your pillow. The drama? Top tier. From family chaos to emotional breakdowns, this book had me hooked.

Also, can we talk about Ragini?? That woman is the heart of the family. Her loyalty, her quiet strength—ugh, I loved her just as much as I loved the main couple. And Ram too 🥺.She deserves her own book,honestly!!

If you’re into messy love stories, complicated family bonds, and emotional drama that pulls you in—you need to read this.

Arjun my man, I absolutely loved him!!!He was such a supportive and caring guy!!!!The guys we deserve 😩😭The way he always protected Gauri and loved her, it was amazing and Beautiful❤ okayyy HE'S MY FICTIONAL HUSBAND 🌚

The chemistry between Arjun and Gauri was Amazing and electric and Arjun’s love and care for Gauri were so soooo beautiful it really touched my heart. His confession? My whole Heart...Totally melted my heart!😩🤍

Gauri & Arjun’s journey was mad, emotional, chaotic, and so beautifully layered. From childhood hate to unexpected marriage… to falling in love in the most reluctant and intense way...🥹

There were moments I wanted to scream at them, hug them, and sometimes… just cry for them. And Arjun- I fell a little too hard for him as he was secretly in love with Gauri... 😩💕

But it wasn’t just the romance. The family dynamics was top-notch. The tension, the heartbreak, the hidden emotions felt too raw and real.😬💕

Special shoutout to Ragini, who is the soul of the story. Her quiet strength made me tear up more than once. She truly deserves her own book.💎

Why read it?

If you love Enemies to Lovers
For the slow-burn tension that keeps you hooked
If family bonds and complicated dynamics matter to you
Honestly, Arjun Kapoor is going to steal your heart 😭💘

Falling for You isn’t just a love story—it’s a journey of healing, vulnerability, and rediscovery. Gauri and Arjun’s path from childhood resentment to reluctant love is emotionally charged and masterfully written. Their chemistry builds slowly, beautifully, and painfully—making every page feel lived-in and real.

But what sets this story apart is its intricate family dynamics. The hidden pain, loyalty, and emotional tension within the family hit hard. Ragini, a supporting character, quietly steals the spotlight with her resilience and grace—she absolutely deserves a story of her own.

If you love Enemies to Lovers, emotional slow burns, and stories where love fights through heartbreak and duty, this one’s a gem.

I completed reading this book, and it was a very cute banter romance story. I totally enjoyed the book 👀

It's about a girl name gauri who fells in love with her sister's brother in law arav but little did she know that his younger brother Arjun is already crushing over her since childhood ❤️🙆🏻‍♀️

This Book is really very cute, I felt like I was watching an indian TV serial but not that typical one 😉. The bond between the Kapoor is really very adorable 👀❤️
And I really like gauri's character, very jolly but at the same time sincere 🤍 . I really liked the cute little nok-jhok between our couples 🌚❤️

Everything in the book felt perfect, all the characters, the family's bond 🦚, the mother-son bond, brothers bond 🤍
A must read for y'all

Falling for You by Rehana Siraj is a short sweet Bollywood style romance with over the top love confessions in true filmi style.
The FMC is a whirlwind, both in her emotions and actions, while the MMC is the quietly pining tsundere type, at least initially. Forced into marriage by their family against their wishes, they initially hate each other but come to the slow realization eventually, that they are perfect for each other.
The shifting POV was a bit of a struggle for me, but not too much and I finished (and enjoyed) the story without being too confused. 4.5 Stars

Nope...couldn't read beyond 3-4 chapters. Gauri was an imbecile, immature person who dreamed nothing beyond getting married. She never spoke to Aarav, never tried finding out whether her feelings were reciprocated or not. She just barged in and decided to get married to him and everyone was convinced..?!

Aarav was a hypocrite and coward who could not stand for himself. He had the audacity to agree to get married to a girl knowing he did not love her..?! I really feel pity for Maya who had to fight for their love.

Didn't bother finding about other characters.

"Falling For You" is a funny, easy going, family drama by the author Rehana Siraj. And, after reading it, I have no words left to describe my feelings. The intriguing banters of Arjun and Gauri, the family drama and complexities, thehe setting, the pace, everything piques the interest of the readers and don't quite leave until they finish the novel.

The novel follows banters of Arjun Kapoor and Gauri Sharma who happens to be the sister of his elder sister-in-law. Both couldn't bear eath other's presence, not even for a second. And their counters, that's just a feast to the readers.

In the smooth going life, Gauri loves Aarav, the shy and reserved brother of Arjun. However, Gauri and Arjun had to marry each other making the enemies into partners. And, the marriage of convenience is chef's kiss.

Albeit, when love strikes, it becomes near to impossible to retreat its path or pretend to ignore it's spark. And, the love story of Arjun and Gauri? We need the luck of Mt. Everest for that. Author just made me feel like I was living in the book with her narration.

The inner conflicts of Arjun, the teasing and taunts of Gauri, oh my! their distinct personalities, their banters, the dynamics of the characters, everything was well planned and set to dive into the mind of the readers. And, yeah, Ruhi is my my absolute sweetheart.

It’s a short read. Starting few chapters were a little off for me. But afterwards it was nice read. I loved Arjun’s character a lot.
