When Kareena Mann turns 30, it seems like everything in her life falls apart. Her family forgets her birthday, and her father informs her that he’s planning to sell the house and move away. Kareena hates the idea of losing the family home, but she doesn’t have enough in her savings for a down payment. Her father has promised her a small amount of money when she gets engaged, so that’s that—Kareena has to fall in love right now. Dr. Prem Verma has no interest in falling in love and getting married, but he does need some money to fund his clinic. After an argument between him and Kareena goes viral, her aunties make him an offer: if he can convince Kareena they’re meant to be together, they will give him the funding he needs. Filled with banter, steam, and Indian culture, Sharma’s (Radha & Jai’s Recipe for Romance) latest is a charming rom-com. The character development is top notch, and readers will love seeing the protagonists realize that love can be a welcome surprise.
VERDICT This first book in Sharma’s “If Shakespeare Was an Auntie” series is a recommended first-tier purchase.
