Dating Dr. Dil by Nisha Sharma | Book Review

☠ ☠ ☠

"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." (Goodreads)

My favorite part of this book was the aunties. I didn't connect fully with Kareena but at least she was still likeable. Prem on the other hand - not so much. I feel like there was so much trying to be accomplished in this book that just fell short for me. While the writing style wasn't bad it wasn't my favorite. There were still concepts and parts I enjoyed but when I tell you one of my favorite tropes is fake dating and even try to put this book in that category I can't. My romances are far and few in between so when I read one I want love - not a "love-phobic" who just didn't meet the mark for me in the end with his character building. Kareena deserves better!

“If love existed, this woman would have his heart, and he'd willingly take his scalpel to carve it out and give it to her.”
