There was some commentary about how Desi women are negatively impacted by cultural expectations about marriage, but it didn't have a strong impact on me. Both Kareena and Prem are amazing characters with unique personalities and differing opinions about love, so seeing the world from their perspective really allowed me to understand where they were coming from.

Dil has all the feels of a “woe is me” tale, but then it shifts to “I can do anything I set my mind on. I skipped all of her “bad dates” because they literally didn’t matter and tried to convince me that Prem wasn’t THAT bad. It’s not everyday brown women are leads in western romance books to begin with, and just seeing her front and center on the cover makes me so happy. The romance slightly improved when Prem and Kareena got over their childish behaviour and went on fun dates together. Now Prem’s largest community center donor is backing out because Prem's reputation as a heart-health expert is at risk.

Kareena is a smart, independent, sassy, down-to-earth lawyer, and Prem is a loyal, sexy, pragmatic, playful doctor.

If this is what we got from the first book in Nisha Sharma's If Shakespeare was an Auntie series, I cannot wait for the next one! Sharma knows how to craft a tale with a blend of irresistible rom-com hijinks and real world stakes that makes it easy to get lost in her work. Dil features a love-phobic TV doctor who must convince a love-obsessed homebody they are destined to be together. Even though they have warring interests, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he thinks she's might actually be the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. There is much to love, a fantastic extended cast of characters, and the promise of more stories spun around the same faces you root for.Often fictional families are depicted as perfect or absolutely horrible, but that's not how things really are. My thoughts summed up if you want to tap out of the rest of my obviously unhinged review: This is actually the worst book I've read in a long time. Dil, Prem is 100% a desi f-boy as he claims, and it’s apparent how, as a South Asian man, he faces more privileges than Kareena does in their desi community. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills. But then he goes down on Kareena three times in a row and would say things like, "Tell me what you want, Rina, honey.

Even after Prem loses his late fiancé, Gori, he isn’t shamed for being single and seeking a new wife just like Kareena fears she will be if things don’t work out with Prem. Perhaps this is just the elder millennial in me, but I remember a time when people were embarrassed to use the actual names of genitalia and assigned euphemisms or nicknames that were more palatable. With a light touch, Sharma immerses readers in a deeply emotional and witty story of love arranged and love inevitable. The TV revolves around a Dr that deals with love but doesn't believe in love himself and a nerdy heroine who needs to get engaged but only wants to get engaged for love.

Prem and Kareena have a sizzling chemistry that weds the sheer delight of an enemies to lovers tale with the swoons of an unforgettable romance.

They are the real MVPs of this story because, without them, there wouldn't be a Kareen and Prem endgame.

Nisha Sharma has written a great story here with the Shakespearean classic, Taming of the Shrew, as the backbone of the story. But a lot of chemistry flies around and they work through their issues together and bam we have a cute love story! Prem did get frustrating with how he would not go all in with Kareena because he was STILL adamant that love didn't exist.In case you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard of this DELIGHTFUL adult romcom releasing on March 15, Dating Dr. She'd piled that thick black hair on top of her head in a messy ponytail, and the glasses did nothing to hide her large brown eyes.
