Dating Dr. Dil

rating -4/5
okay?? why did i expect to not like this at all?? first ever desi book I've read (if you leave out middle school indian authors like chetan bhagat, nikita singh, durjoy datta etcetc) and i thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it:)

The concept is super unique. The arranged marriage vs love marriage and love vs compatibility was the perfect setup to explore dynamics and relationships in brown families. The writing was pretty fast paced and flowed really well. So much so that, I was planning to read it in between studying but ended up studying in between reading T_T.

The characters were well done and had good chemistry. Their dates were so so fun! and unique:D a pani puri eating competition and a murder scavenger hunt are such great ideas. i absolutely loved it.

A few complaints that brought down my rating would be the fmc being just a tad bit over dramatic imo. But again, the characterisation was consistent and looking back, it does make sense for her to be on guard and unwilling if a guy she's getting engaged to, doesn't believe in love.
OH OH OH. AND Charlie??? Jalebi??? plis lets not—let's just. not. i cringed everytime.

yep that's pretty much it. happy i picked this up. you should too! :)
