The Premise —
This is one of the three books from the series If Shakespeare Were an Auntie. ‘Dating Dr. Dil’ is a contemporary romance that revolves around Kareena Mann, an attorney trying to save her mother’s house from her father, and Dr. Prem Verma, a cardiologist who wants to establish a community center in honor of his deceased fiancée. The story begins with them as enemies and ends with them dating.
Book Description —
Dating Dr. Dil features a love-phobic TV doctor who must convince a love-obsessed homebody they are destined to be together.
Kareena Mann dreams of having a love story like her parents, but she prefers restoring her classic car to swiping right on dating apps. When her father announces he’s selling her mother’s home, Kareena makes a deal with him: he’ll gift her the house if she can get engaged in four months. Her search for her soulmate becomes impossible when her argument with Dr. Prem Verma, host of The Dr. Dil Show, goes viral. Now the only man in her life is the one she doesn’t want.
Dr. Prem Verma is dedicated to building a local community health center, but he needs to get donors with deep pockets. The Dr. Dil Show was doing just that, until his argument with Kareena went viral, and he’s left short changed. That’s when Kareena’s meddling aunties presented him with a solution: convince Kareena he’s her soulmate and they’ll fund his clinic.
Even though they 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. But for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.
My Thoughts —
The book is a super light read. It was the kind of book that I wanted to put down after the first 50 pages. I didn’t find it particularly romantic or funny. It contains some adult scenes, which were also okay. At one point, the author referred to his private part as “Charlie.” I’m not sure how I feel about that. Out of all the gazillion names out there, who calls their penis Charlie!?
The characters are not well-developed. I couldn’t relate to or understand why the characters were doing what they were doing. It is not a slow burn. The characters meet instantly and start having sex pretty quickly. So, as I said, my overall one-word review for this book is — Meh.
