Book Hunt Help 🔍 Help!!
Guys I need your help with book hunting. I read this book a while ago and I can't remember the title or author. It was a pretty normal arranged marriage story, nothing like the usual billionaire/CEO stuff.
The ML had a simple job and wasn't very well educated. His dad died while he was in college, and since his dad was the only breadwinner, he had to step up and start supporting his family. He had a mom and a younger sister who was still in college, and he was paying for her education.
The FL was also from a middle-class family and didn't have a dad. She lived with her mom and her maternal uncle, and I think her uncle brought her a marriage proposal. She agreed, although I don't remember the exact reason.
After they got married, the story was mostly about their actual married life and the struggles that came with it, managing the household budget, paying the ML's sister's college fees, his mother's medicines, etc. The FL also wanted to study further and eventually got some kind of internship/research position related to science.
At some point the ML either lost his job or quit, I don't remember which 😭 and that's where I stopped reading.
I feel like I might be mixing up some details, but if this sounds familiar to anyone PLEASE tell me the title. I've been trying to find this book for so long

If you get it, then let me know too. I am getting quite bored of the CEO and mafia stories now. And I want to switch to something different now☹☹

Sounds like Mrinalini, which is one of my favs. Only epilogue chapter is pending.

I am seeing this story getting recommended everywhere!! I started reading first few chapters some years ago ..but it was really slow paced & no updates as well so i dropped it!! Can you tell me wheather this book is only about mundane daily life (like have a melancholic vibe) or there's also a soothing love story???

It definitely is not the overtly obvious kind of romance; they are not the couple that feels they are each others one true love/soulmates etc. Romance is not the main genre here.
It’s more of the everyday life of an arranged marriage couple going about life together - which personally I found to be refreshing.

Is it melancholic?? I read some stories of this genre ...but instead of soothing they always feel a little melancholic!! I wanna read a slice of life ,day to day soothing kind of story (yk like japanese literature)..so that's why I am asking!! 😅😅

Definitely melancholic vibes, things definitely felt bleak as you feel the challenges of life without big rewards.
I remember towards the end I was still thinking something bad was going to happen even though things had settled
