"Nisha Sharma's Dating Dr. Dil is what would happen if you put all my favorite romantic comedy tropes into a blender: a frothy, snarky, hilarious treat with a gooey, heartwarming center. The perfect addition to any rom-com lover's shelf." —Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author of People We Meet on Vacation
Nisha Sharma’s new romantic comedy features enemies to lovers, a cast of best friends, and a gaggle of aunties determined to make a match.
Hi! I’m Kareena Mann. As cheesy as it sounds, I’m looking for my soulmate. In four months. And he must gain the approval of my meddling aunties.
Kareena dreams of having a perfect love story like her parents did. That’s why on the morning of her thirtieth birthday, she’s decided to suit up and enter the dating arena. When her widowed father announces he’s retiring and selling their home after her sister’s engagement party, Kareena makes a deal with him. If she can find her soulmate by the date of the party, he’ll gift her the house, and she’ll be able to keep her mother’s legacy alive.
Hi, I’m Dr. Prem Verma, host of the Dr. Dil Show. Prem means love, Dil means heart, and I’m a cardiologist. Don’t let my name fool you. I only fix broken hearts in the literal sense.
Prem doesn’t have time for romance, which is why it’s no surprise when his first meeting with Kareena goes awry. Their second encounter is worse when their on-air debate about love goes viral. Now Prem’s largest community center donor is backing out because Prem's reputation as a heart-health expert is at risk. To get back in his donor’s good graces, he needs to fix his image fast, and dating Kareena is his only option.
Even though they have warring interests, the more time Prem spends with Kareena, the more he thinks she’s might actually be the woman he wants to spend the rest of his life with. In this Taming of the Shrew re-imagination, for Prem and Kareena to find their happily ever after, they must admit that hate has turned into fate.

Dr. Prem Varma doesn’t believe love is necessary (or even healthy) for a relationship. Kareena Mann not only believes in love, she wants the passion and all the messiness that could come with it. So what happens when these two find themselves attracted to each other, brought together by one almost hook up and then the realization that they are so very different?
While I can’t say I loved it, I did like it. The only thing that kept me from 4 stars is that I felt the timeline was a bit off!
I say give this one a go! There are some literal laugh out loud moments in here!
This was such a wonderful read. I laughed out loud so many times with all the relatable content. From Kareena's dating app craziness to the hilarious banter between her and Prem.
Prem and his stern stance on love had me flustered but made his development so beautiful to read. His journey is of one who hasn't had enough time to self reflect, he has just kept chugging along and grinding hard career wise.
It wasn't until he starts to fall for Kareena until he truly starts to acknowledge more internal feelings that haven't yet been processed. All that journey was truly wrapped together and made sense for his character.
All of the beautiful Desi culture was wonderful to peek at via this book. I am also so happy that I follow the author on tik tok, as she has taken time to further explain some aspects of her culture and how she wrote it in this book.
I am so happy and filled with happy mushy feelings after reading this and I look forward to more books by Nisha Sharma!
