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.

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.

Could have been so much more

⭐⭐⭐.5
Whilst I did enjoy this one, it could have been so much more and it left me feeling unsatisfied.

The story was great and it would make an excellent full-length novel but in this instance it was way too short. We didn't get to know the characters nearly enough so it was hard to root for their romance, and it was also hard to root for any of the side characters. I would love to see an actual book come out of this, especially as the story felt so unique to me.

I also wasn't a huge fan of the female voice as she came across as quite robotic.

Overall, I did enjoy this book but I wanted more.

Fabulous story

This App, and the idea of being able to listen to my favourite authors and books just turned my life upside down. I am so happy that now even for a very short trip , 1hour I am able to listen to the book. This book is very interesting and a nice book to listen to while travelling , the story made me smile and the quality of the storytelling is perfect no need to read and follow what I listened because it is so simple to identify different people. Felt like I in the story personally.
