Reviews with content warning for Death of parent - Dating Dr. Dil

This was a fun, breezy read. I really liked Kareena and Prem was really sexy! He was maybe a little too aggressive and I was frustrated at the way that he struggled to see Kareena's perspective, but of course, that's where the drama comes in.

Where do I start?

The vibe of the book wasn't vibing with me. I didn't feel any connection with the main characters. It felt so empty, no chemistry.
I mean I am an Indian myself, I should feel the connection, right? But no, maybe because of certain things which I am not aware of even myself.

In India, relationship progress really slowly (atleast I think so, I mean I have never came across anyone who is into one night stand or hooking up or maybe because I am very introvert person). So I went in the book with that mindset but when I first read

I want to touch you.

in chapter 4, I was taken aback. I wouldn't have mind if her intention was that from the beginning when she talked to him. I thought maybe it's a fast progress book. I kept reading but this book . . . . not for me. The foundation of the relationship matters. The connection between the main characters felt very weak. I wouldn't care if they end up with each other or not.

I am a sucker for slow burn, emotional intimacy more than physical intimacy. I prefer emotional bonding, strong co nnection, trust between the characters than physical bonding. Some grovelling too, I mean who doesn't love that. I couldn't find any of these.

I cringed so hard at the "Desi fuckboy". Sighs... and who the fuck name their penis "Charlie"? I mean you are a doctor! Atleast I thought you would be used to with the anatomy terms.

Also, the writing didn't meet my expectation.

I don't know what I was expecting with the book, I can't describe what I am feeling.

Since I am an Indian myself, i understand the culture and the meaning of the female character's relationship with her families. I would say, not every family is as shitty as Kareena's family. At least not mine, I am grateful for that.

As a conclusion, this book wasn't for me but it might be for you.
