“A story that depicts the reality of life and the complexity of relationships…full of depth and emotion that will leave a smile on your face.” — Jersey Girl Book Reviews

“Insanely realistic. I think I have found a new author I need to stalk for the rest of her career.” — Big Girls *Heart* Books

“This book had a bit of everything in it – drama, tears, a bundle of giggles, some sexiness and a sweet romance. But most of all it was, well…real.” — Bookworm Betties

Anna has never been the beautiful one; she’s always been the nice one. So when the gorgeous man sitting across the table at a wedding reception remembers her from high school—and quite fondly at that—she’s taken off guard.

Formerly overweight and unpopular, Kiran has never forgotten Anna, the one person who was kind to him when no one else could be bothered, and Anna’s a bit flustered as she slowly comes to grips with his intense attraction for her.

In what feels like a romantic dream come true, all-grown-up, hunky Kiran invites Anna on a trip to Varanasi. But her troubled, whack-a-do ex-boyfriend starts interfering, creating drama at every turn, which begs the question, “Can nice girls really finish first?”

“Hickman makes every crowded street in Varanasi and holy ceremony by the Ganges come alive with the flowing and detailed descriptions one would usually expect from a travel writer. Vegas to Varanasi is a quirky, warm, and entertaining novel that is most highly recommended.” Five stars from Readers’ Favorite
