Summary

A perfect disaster - or a perfect match? Find out in this heartfelt rom-com novella....

"Just three dates. That's all I'm asking. One boy shares your sense of humor. Another has similar interests and ideals. The third boy has a helpful heart like yours."

When Aditi Gupta comes home late from work as a pediatric resident one night and her grandfather offers this pitch, she reluctantly agrees. She's far too busy with med school to be dating, and besides, she dreams of a love for the ages, like her parents, not an arranged marriage. And yet she finds herself agreeing to three dates because she loves her grandfather. All she has to do is make herself utterly ineligible and problem solved! 

And sure enough her first date with the disgustingly handsome and intriguing Krishna Lal goes exactly as planned: not well! But then the second date comes around and Aditi finds that there is more at stake than just three bad dates. Suddenly, her heart is on the line, and maybe her grandfather's, too.

A little bland. Not much happens

A bit repetitive too. Like a few other audible originals, it alternates between the 2 main characters' points of view.

I found the female protagonist a bit annoying and quite rude. Narration is fine.

Nice. Neat

This is a lovely novel, and I can’t comment too much about it, without giving spoilers!

As I’m English (& Black), this is not my usual genre at all! But it was a very enjoyable quick read, introducing me to a new author, so with her help, I think that I have indeed found a new genre to add to my quiver! Certainly I shall read more of hers, if this isn’t a fluke!

If it isn’t, this is an author worth sticking with! Her characters are interesting, believable, and frank! 21st century Asians living in a 21st century USA, yet with echoes to a centuries old culture and caste system. Beautiful.

A good listen!

A very relatable and fun story about matchmaking grand parents. I definitely enjoyed the cultural and food references in this.

Recommended for all Indians who have faced arranged marriage setups.

okay short read

considering this book is only 2hrs long, it felt like i was listening to it for 300 years. I cant really remember much about it but I think the grandparents were just living vicariously through out main characters? Nothing special unfortunately.

Enjoyable but too short!

I didn’t realise this was such a short story. I was enjoying it and wanted to know that more happened.

Brilliant short story

I absolutely loved this charming romance. Such lovely characters. I have always struggled with the concept of arranged marriages because of news articles, but it is good to see the other sides of the debate.
