Becca McCulloch Reads and Writes: Review: True Love Again

At a Gujarati wedding in North Devon, the interfering aunties are in full force, scheming and pairing off the single people. Normally Meera avoids these gatherings, but for this wedding she can’t say no.

Krishan, a widowed single parent, struggles with the idea of moving on - especially when no one can compare to his late wife. And the Aunties' suggestions for a perfect match aren't helping. Then he meets Meera.

When an accident with the floral arrangements sends the pair off on a mission for replacements they develop an easy friendship. Krishan suggests to Meera that they pretend to date for the rest of the summer's events, and she agrees as long as he promises to join as a Beta tester, for her dating and new experience app.

Krishan is reluctant, but Meera promises him it will only be a couple of times.

What could possibly go wrong?

Review

True love again was a fun, slow-burn romance set among the South Asian population of England. The south Asian culture bubbles alongside the more commonly referenced elements of English life. The book explored how these cultures coexist and clash through this second-chance love story. From the wedding at the beginning to the meddling aunties along the way, elements of Gujarati culture provide authenticity and joy to this novel. The book is breezy, fun and sigh-worthy despite some heavier emotional elements. I found this book very enjoyable but warn readers that there is some spice. The book contains open-door intimacy and heavy adult themes.

Author Bio –

Saz Vora is a passionate storyteller, wife and mother, and a proud voice of British Asians in multicultural Britain. Born in East Africa and raised in Coventry in the heart of the Midlands, Sazgrew up balancing the vibrant rhythms of her Gujarati Indian roots with her British upbringing. This rich cultural tapestry infuses every word she writes.

Saz’s powerful debut novels, My Heart Sings Your Song and its sequel Where Have We Come—a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2020—weave a deeply emotional tale of love, loss, family, and resilience. Based on true events, her work fearlessly explores the often-unspoken realities of baby loss within South Asian families in Britain, shining a light on stories that need to be told.

Her talent has also been recognized in short form—her poignant piece on a childhood memory, Broad Street Library was longlisted for the Spread the Word Life Writing Prize 2020.

Before embracing her calling as a writer, Saz enjoyed a successful career in television production and teaching. But storytelling has always been her true passion. Today, she crafts heartfelt narratives that reflect the layered complexities of multicultural identity, family expectations, and women’s experiences—especially those often shrouded in silence.

With a love for music, food, and film (from Bollywood to Hollywood and everything in between), her books are rich with references that connect readers to her world. Each story is a soulful blend of emotion and authenticity, written for readers who appreciate the depth and drama of South Asian family life and the power of voice in confronting taboo topics.
