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

Product Information

Even though the two have conflicting views on love-matches and arranged-matches, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he begins to believe she’s the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. There is so much hilarious banter, amazing sexual tension, passionate romance, loveable characters, and more! Special thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager, dear Nisha Sharma for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts. She refuses to lower her standards to meet the standards of her potential suitors, stands up to her dad to let her keep their family home, and straight up tells Prem that she’ll only have him if he reciprocates her love. Most of you read my reviews know what I’m exactly looking for when I start a steamy, hilarious romcom!

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. Her books have appeared in best of lists by The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, Cosmopolitan, Teen Vogue, Buzzfeed, and more. They are the real MVPs of this story because, without them, there wouldn't be a Kareen and Prem endgame. 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.He's about to lose grasp of an investor through an unfortunate incident that went viral, and his dreams of a special medical centre are fading.

That’s why on the morning of her thirtieth birthday, she’s decided to suit up and enter the dating arena. 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. When a hero is as fucked up as Prem, I don’t want to see him end up with Kareena, nor do I want to witness him having orgasms.In terms of characterization, Prem's passion and motivation to build a community clinic is easy to understand.

The romance slightly improved when Prem and Kareena got over their childish behaviour and went on fun dates together.Kareena: "I've read romance novels since high school, and so many of the heroines are ashamed when they don't have sex after four months, and I'm like, is that the scale I have to go by? Bookaddict lass wrote: "poke a hole through his pants🤣 this rating seems generous after charlie dick and holes in the pants. The enemies aspect of the romance did not work well - Prem and Kareena came across as juvenile and asinine.

However, after learning about Prem's past, it's understandable why he would have such a standoffish approach to love. Dil is what would happen if you put all my favorite romantic comedy tropes into a blender: a frothy, snarky, hilarious treat with a gooey, heartwarming center. The enemies-to-lovers vibes, fake-dating plot, passionate banter, and stubborn personalities made the tension explosive.Nisha Sharma has written a great story here with the Shakespearean classic, Taming of the Shrew, as the backbone of the story. In this Taming of the Shrew re-imagination, for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate. There are also quite a few problems with the writing itself: often repeated phrases, continuity issues, serious holes in the plot, and even a scene where Prem runs his hands up the female's BACK to grab her boobs.

Prem é o primeiro a aceitar o plano, já que a imagem pública dele tá o Ó e eles está em busca de investidores para a sua clínica comunitária, e não existe melhor imagem do que: um homem de família.
