Description

"Nisha Sharma's Dating Dr. 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 perfect addition to any rom-com lover's shelf." —Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation

Nisha Sharma's new romantic comedy features enemies to lovers, a cast of best friends, and a gaggle of aunties determined to make a match.

Hi! I'm Kareena Mann. As cheesy as it sounds, I'm looking for my soulmate. In four months. And he must gain the approval of my meddling aunties.

Kareena dreams of having a perfect love story like her parents did. That's why on the morning of her thirtieth birthday, she's decided to suit up and enter the dating arena. When her widowed father announces he's retiring and selling their home after her sister's engagement party, Kareena makes a deal with him. If she can find her soulmate by the date of the party, he'll gift her the house, and she'll be able to keep her mother's legacy alive.

Hi, I'm Dr. Prem Verma, host of the Dr. Dil Show. Prem means love, Dil means heart, and I'm a cardiologist. Don't let my name fool you. I only fix broken hearts in the literal sense.

Prem doesn't have time for romance, which is why it's no surprise when his first meeting with Kareena goes awry. Their second encounter is worse when their on-air debate about love goes viral. Now Prem's largest community center donor is backing out because Prem's reputation as a heart-health expert is at risk. To get back in his donor's good graces, he needs to fix his image fast, and dating Kareena is his only option.

Even though they have warring interests, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he thinks she's might actually be the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. 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.

"Bursting with character, spicy tension and laughs, Dating Dr. Dil is the enemies to lovers dream book!" —Tessa Bailey, New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer

        November 29, 2021
        Sharma (Radha & Jai’s Recipe for Romance) half-heartedly retells The Taming of the Shrew in this tepid rom-com about 30-year-old, Indian American career woman Kareena Mann, who has “the entire New Jersey South Asian population” hounding her to get married. Kareena wants true love, but she also wants to buy from her father the house her late mother built. This goal is within reach using the wedding fund her mother started for her, but her traditionally minded father refuses to give Kareena the money until she’s engaged. Prem Verma, the local TV show host better known as Dr. Dil, needs money to build a community health center, and his mother, too, will pay him to get married. After the pair’s televised argument about love goes viral, they agree to fake a relationship to get the money from their parents. Though well-grounded in Desi culture, the novel’s engagement with The Taming of the Shrew is meager at best, throwing out most of the plot and themes. It’s not quite successful on its own terms either: flashbacks to Kareena and Prem’s improbably all-inclusive conversation during their drunken first meeting ruin the pace of many scenes, and the ever-present interstitial of an Indian advice columnist adds little. Sharma took an ambitious swing and missed. Agent: Joy Tutela, David Black Literary.

      • content: Soneela Nankani and Vikas Adam narrate a rom-com loosely inspired by Shakespeare's TAMING OF THE SHREW. After a run-in that, unfortunately, goes viral, Kareena Mann and Prem Verma agree to fake a relationship so that their reputations can recover. Nankani captures the awkward combination of confidence, frustration, and doubt that Kareena experiences when it comes to her family but also shows the deep love they all have for one another. Adam does a fantastic job depicting the inherently decent person Prem is while also portraying his utter cluelessness when it comes to emotions and how to express them. Kareena's brigade of aunties and Prem's sharp-as-a-knife mother steal every scene they are in, due in no small part to Nankani and Adam. K.M.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine

        Kareena Mann believes it's possible to have a marriage just like her parents had--based on love--not arranged by her family. Cardiologist Prem Verma, host of the South Asian television station's Dr. Dil Show, doesn't believe love truly exists. After a meeting gone awry and a viral video the next day, it seems the two are more combustible than compatible. Prem needs funding for the community health center he wants to open. Kareena needs a fianc� so she can buy her childhood home. Her marriage-minded aunties' matchmaking attempts might be the solution to their problems. If only they agreed on love. Experienced narrators Soneela Nankani and Vikas Adam once again perform a contemporary romance audiobook together. Both are talented with accents and capture the characters' personalities. Infusing her performance with a whiny, demanding note, Nankani aptly portrays Kareena's less desirable traits as well as her growth. Adam easily becomes Prem, but his female voices are a bit weak. Both use good pacing and emotion, which showcases Kareena and Prem's chemistry. VERDICT An uneven production may deter listeners, but fans of Sharma's popular Desi romances will enjoy.--Amanda L. S. Murphy
