Dating Dr. Dil: A Novel: 1 (If Shakespeare Were an Auntie, 1)

Product Information

Eles se entendem, conversam, aprendem com os seus erros, reconhecem o quando algo que eles fazem não agrada o parceiro e são maravilhosos juntos. Perma was what every Desi auntie would consider perfect husband material for any daughter, and based on some information very early on, Prem was still dealing with the loss of someone very dear to him. But for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate. The author tried hard to make it look like she was demolishing stereotypes, but in my opinion, she just ended up reinforcing these stereotypes. The enemies-to-lovers vibes, fake-dating plot, passionate banter, and stubborn personalities made the tension explosive.

I enjoyed none of the sex scenes because Prem is a soggy douche canoe with holes I don’t want to see filled.

Now they should fake their relationship because Prem needs to fix his tarnished reputation and Kareena needs a fiancée to convince her father to give the money he saved for her marriage to pay for their family house which has sentimental value for her. Like Kareena, it seemed no matter what, her family felt by being married then that would be better for her, find someone to settle down with, but Kareena wanted to marry for love, not for convenience. This contrast between the two leads, combined with their contrasting views on love and marriage, was done incredibly well IMO and I admire Nisha for highlighting these double standards within some South Asian communities. I thought it was kind of hilarious the way Prem and Kareena met again after the failed fiasco at the restaurant and ultimately ended in a big argument at the studio where Prem filmed his show, “Dr. I rounded up, despite the excessive amount of pro-sweater vest propaganda, because this novel addressed very real issues, like the ingrained misogyny and colonialism in brown communities, in such a thoughtful way it separated itself from the standard romantic fluff.

Kareena is humiliated and angry, so when she sees Prem at a work event for her sister, she goes off on him. Dil has some of the best South Asian-American rep that I’ve seen (but you knew that already), combined with filmy magic and the best romance tropes.If love existed, this woman would have his heart, and he'd willingly take his scalpel to carve it out and give it to her. i saw this book once on booktok and that was my cue to not pick it up because we don’t trust booktok. Nisha Sharma has written a great story here with the Shakespearean classic, Taming of the Shrew, as the backbone of the story. Her books have appeared in best of lists by The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, Buzzfeed, and more.

If you're looking for a spicy rom-com that's going to keep you interested throughout the whole book, then this is perfect for you! DIL has a lot of good parts: great stories framed in Indian-American culture, laugh-out-loud moments, a strong and smart female lead, and a doctor who starts out dreamy and then fizzles. The character development is top notch, and readers will love seeing the protagonists realize that love can be a welcome surprise. And certain things like unprocessed grief can become so normal we no longer see the influence they have over our lives. Dil himself, there is a clear juxtaposition of Prem’s character against Kareena’s, which was done really well in my opinion, especially in the context of how desi men are treated in South Asian communities.Nisha Sharma’s new romcom, inspired by The Taming Of The Shrew , promises to be charming and hilarious.
