This book is published by Avon in 2022 and has 384 pages.

Kareena turns 30. Still single, taken for granted by her family (father, grandmother, younger sister who is a professor, YouTuber and engaged). Her father decides to retire, sell their house and relocate. Kareena doesn’t want to sell the legacy of her dead mother. She doesn’t have money to buy this Prime property from her father. Her father has set aside a sum for her marriage either to be given as cash or to be spent for marriage expenses. The only way Kareena can get that money to pay her father is by marrying. Dr. Prem mourns his fiancé Gauri’s death for 3 years. He works as a talk show host with nome de plume Dr. Dill. He wants to open a community clinic catering to needs of South Asians. He has investors but is still short of cash for acquiring the dream property for his clinic. His Mom entices him that if he gets married, she will cover the shortfall. 

Will they meet? Will they date? Will they fall in love? Will they marry? Will it work?

It’s a classic love story. They meet. They are attracted. They fall out, a fierce, public spat. They fight. They hate each other. Circumstance brings them together. They agree to work together for mutual benefit. They are attracted to each other. They lust for each other. They fall in love but deny it.

Kareena likes Prem. She thinks he is a perfect match. But he can’t give her the one thing that’s most important to her. Love and commitment. Prem likes Kareena. He can’t stand any other man near her. He is worried for her. He can’t think anything other than her. He doesn’t believe in love. He thinks it’s only the chemistry. He can’t give love to her.

The story undulates between hope and despair. Will they? Won’t they? Although we know how it will end, reader remains interested. The aunties play the background characters in addition to their families. 

A section of this book is erotica. Pure erotica with detailed description of sex scenes. I felt that was not really necessary for the story. 

It’s a dramatic book. It can be made into a movie. Based on the characters. I even casted the lead pair. Sonakshi Sinha will play Kareena and Ranbir Kapoor will play Dr. Dill. 

Why did I read this book? Was on hand. 

What I didn't like? Unnecessary Erotica. 

What did I like? Drama. 

Recommend reading.
