Publisher's Summary

A perfect disaster - or a perfect match? Find out in this heartfelt rom-com novella....

"Just three dates. That's all I'm asking. One boy shares your sense of humor. Another has similar interests and ideals. The third boy has a helpful heart like yours."

When Aditi Gupta comes home late from work as a pediatric resident one night and her grandfather offers this pitch, she reluctantly agrees. She's far too busy with med school to be dating, and besides, she dreams of a love for the ages, like her parents, not an arranged marriage. And yet she finds herself agreeing to three dates because she loves her grandfather. All she has to do is make herself utterly ineligible and problem solved! 

And sure enough her first date with the disgustingly handsome and intriguing Krishna Lal goes exactly as planned: not well! But then the second date comes around and Aditi finds that there is more at stake than just three bad dates. Suddenly, her heart is on the line, and maybe her grandfather's, too.

Meet spillover

it's a funny story of love young and old. The grandfather sets up his grand daughter.
The meeting is full of highs and lows including a medical emergency. A bit predictable but okay since the girl is a doctor. A nice touch about the grandmother. Sweet, funny story. Opposites do attract indeed. It was an easy listen for some NRI love with a touch of India.

Great Oneshot with weird Indian pronunciations

Loved the prologue to an amazing story, however the pronunciations of some typical Indian words could have been better. I know that shouldn't matter but it kinda pulled me out of the immersion 😅

Predictable yet fun

It's a messy, predictable, yet cute and fun romance story that might be suitable for a guilty pleasure.
