"Incense and \;Sensibility is a tender\, well-crafted novel\, as much about finding purpose as it is abo ut falling in love. Dev writes with such rare empathy and humor that I oft en found myself holding my breath on one page only to be giggling by the n ext. This is the \;kind of book you finish with a whole-body\, happy s igh and a warm ache in your chest where the characters will live on. Yash and India&rsquo\;s story will stick with me for a long time.&rdquo\;&mdash \; \;Emily Henry\, \;New York Times \;bestselling author of&nb sp\;Beach Read
\nYash Raje\, California&rsquo\;s f irst Indian-American gubernatorial candidate\, has always known exactly wh at he wants&mdash\;and how to use his privileged background to get it. He attributes his success to a simple mantra: control your feelings and you c an control the world. But when a hate crime at a rally critically injures his friend\, Yash&rsquo\;s easy life suddenly feels like a lie\, his contr ol an illusion. When he tries to get back on the campaign trail\, he black s out with panic.
\nDesperate to keep Yash&rsquo\;s condition from l eaking to the media\, his family turns to the one person they trust&mdash\ ;his sister&rsquo\;s best friend\, India Dashwood\, California&rsquo\;s fo remost stress management coach. Raised by a family of yoga teachers\, Indi a has helped San Francisco&rsquo\;s high strung overachievers for a decade without so much as altering her breath. But this man&mdash\;with his boun dless ambition\, simmering intensity\, and absolute faith in his political beliefs&mdash\;is like no other.
\nYash has spent a lifetime repres sing everything to succeed\, including their one magical night ten years a go&mdash\;a too brief\, too bright passion that if rekindled threatens to destroy the dream he&rsquo\;s willingly shouldered for his family and comm unity . . . until now."
