I really wanted to love this book and in some sense I did but the romance just didn’t quite resonate with me. At least not consistently. This is the first time I’ll have two different ratings for a book because I just couldn’t decide but also because I think some elements of Dating Dr. Dil we’re truly important.
The romance would’ve been so much better if there had been no mention of Charlie because it completely changed the delivery and importance of the spicy scenes. Now, I don’t agree with all the hate Prem gets and although he isn’t perfect and we expect this perfect book boyfriend when we pick up a new book he was honest from the beginning even if he didn’t realize how deep in love he was until later.
I admired Kareena as a whole because I related to her a lot. culturally I just saw similarities that resonated with me even though I am Mexican if that makes sense as well as her older sister role. Constantly having tias the equivalent of aunties asking about “where’s the boyfriend” and then “when’s the wedding” later evolving into asking about children haha it’s just a lot. I am the middle child so not the oldest but with the way my family operates I might as well be so God did I feel like Kareena needed a damn break!
Dating Dr. Dil might’ve not been the perfect romance for me but it’s the perfect book for any older sisters or middle/older sisters to relate to as well as culturally diverse readers!
