The Matchmaker's List

One devoted modern girl + a meddlesome, traditional grandmother = a heartwarming multicultural romantic comedy about finding love where you least expect it.

Raina Anand may have finally given in to family pressure and agreed to let her grandmother play matchmaker, but that doesn't mean she has to like it--or that she has to play by the rules. Nani always took Raina's side when she tried to push past the traditional expectations of their tight-knit Indian-immigrant community, but now she's ambushing Raina with a list of suitable bachelors. Is it too much to ask for a little space? Besides, what Nani doesn't know won't hurt her...

As Raina's life spirals into a parade of Nani-approved bachelors and disastrous blind dates, she must find a way out of this modern-day arranged-marriage trap without shattering her beloved grandmother's dreams.

First, this wasn't a romance book, at all. Second, there are way too many characters for a non-literary book (and also for a literary one): a million family members, friends, bad dates, it's an entire sci-fi-fantasy universe basically. By the time it becomes even vaguely romantic, I couldn't care less about the male character she picks.

This is really about the main character's relationship with her grandmother and by extension with the world.
