Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Aurora Palit!
Writes:
fun, compelling romance full of laughter, hope, and big love. Aurora adores tender, romantic moments and banter as a love language, and her debut, SUNSHINE AND SPICE, has plenty of both: when two complete opposites agree to fake date in order to solve their cultural dilemmas, they find the only force more powerful than an immigrant mother’s matchmaking schemes might just be true love.
About:
Swipe right if you can handle a dessert-obsessed South Asian Canadian who loves dancing, apologizing (it’s the Canadian way), Caribbean music, and travelling (unique architecture makes me swoon). I also like unhinged humor (think Parks and Recreation), books with spice, elastic waistbands, delicious one pot recipes, and impulsive decisions at the hair salon that turn out right. Let’s skip the small talk and dive into meaningful conversations about Bridgerton, millennial trauma, and how the world needs more happily ever afters.
You’ll love SUNSHINE AND SPICE if you’re into:
- opposites attract
- a grumpy hero with a gooey center
- she rescues him
- meddling families
- piggyback rides in the rain
- open door spice
What to expect if we're compatible:
- diverse characters
- banter as foreplay
- stories that celebrate women
- characters who learn to fall in love with each other and themselves
- heartfelt moments when the world seems to stop for a little romance
When two complete opposites agree to fake date in order to solve their cultural dilemmas, they find the only force more powerful than an immigrant mother’s matchmaking schemes might just be true love.
Naomi Kelly will do anything to make her new brand consulting business a success. When she lands a career saving contract to rebrand the Mukherjee family’s failing local bazaar, she knows there can be no mistakes. But as the “oops” baby of a free-spirited Bengali mother, Naomi’s lack of connection to her roots represents everything Gia Mukherjee disdains.
Enter, Dev Mukherjee.
Dev knows everything his mother wants…including her wish for him to get married, like, yesterday. When Gia hires a matchmaker (without, you know, asking him), Dev vows to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up in a cold, loveless marriage. When a potential match assumes Naomi is his girlfriend, the solution to both their problems becomes clear: Naomi will pretend to date Dev in order to sabotage his mother’s matchmaking efforts in exchange for lessons in Bengali culture. Flawless plan, right?
But as Naomi and Dev bond over awful dancing at Garba, couples cooking classes, and tackling the rebrand as a team, they start to realize while their relationship may be fake, their feelings for each other are starting to become very real. As the line between reality and rumor blurs, Naomi and Dev must confront what it means to fit the mold, and decide how much they’re willing to risk for love.

A first generation Bengali-Canadian, Aurora Palit grew up in rural Alberta, where she was always the only South Asian student in her class. Her love of reading began at age four but it wasn’t until high school—when she wandered into the romance section of a bookstore—that she realized happily-ever-afters are her jam. Flash forward [an undisclosed number of] years and Aurora is now writing those stories with her own unique brand of humor, perspective, and belief that people of color deserve love stories too. During her time pursuing a master's degree in English literature, Aurora was drawn to discourses on diaspora and identity, racism, and multi-generational immigrant experiences; topics she now explores in her writing. When she’s not testing her characters’ patience, Aurora is raising small humans, roasting her spouse, prowling for chocolate, and dancing for all that she’s worth. She also spends her days adulting as a communications professional for a not for profit organization
