Just Playing House
CW: Mentions of breast/ovarian cancer, loss of a loved one
What would you do if the prom date who ghosted you requested you to style him for his up and coming movie? In Just Playing House Marley Kamal got the surprise of her life when Nik Sharma aka Nikhil Shamdasani requested her services to style him. These two hadn’t spoken in a decade but it was very clear from the beginning that the chemistry was still there. Marley and Nik were both at a crossroads in their lives; she was preparing for a prophylactic double mastectomy and he the biggest acting role of his career. Marley agreed to virtually style Nik for press junkets and he would in turn be a night nurse and help her recover from surgery. This was a very sweet forced proximity/second chance at love story. Reading about characters open up to each other and be vulnerable is always so refreshing. The author also did a job at explaining what it meant to have the BRCA gene and how having it led the FMC to make a life altering decision. It took a while but I’m happy Marley finally opened up to those around her and got the support she needed. Of course Marley and Nik faced some hurdles throughout the book but they managed to get it together and spoiler alert, there’s an HEA!
