Acerca de esta escucha
One devoted modern girl plus a meddlesome, traditional grandmother equals 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.

Historia
Chloe Sanderson is an optimist, and not because her life is easy. As the sole caregiver for her father, who has early-onset Alzheimer’s, she’s pretty much responsible for everything. She has no time - or interest - in getting swept up in some dazzling romance. Not like her best friend, Annie, who literally wrote a rom-com that’s about to premiere in theaters across America...and happens to be inspired by Chloe and her cute but no-nonsense boss, Nick Velez.

Historia
Twenty-nine-year-old Niki Randhawa has always made practical decisions. Despite her love for music and art, she became an analyst for the stability. She's always stuck close to home, in case her family needed her. And she's always dated guys that seem good on paper, rather than the ones who give her butterflies. When she's laid off, Niki realizes that practical hasn't exactly paid off for her. So for the first time ever, she throws caution to the wind and books a last-minute flight for her friend Diya’s wedding.

Featured Article: The Best Women Narrators to Listen to Right Now
One of the biggest questions listeners have when it comes to approaching a new audiobook is whether or not they'll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable, as audiobooks are at least a few hours long (with many clocking in at 20 hours long—or more!), and sticking with one person's voice for that time period can feel like a big commitment. We rounded up some of the best female narrators with a robust list of audiobooks under their belts.

Do you know what is a better story than a desi woman who avoids dates by PRETENDING to be a lesbian? A story about a desi woman who avoids dates BECAUSE she is a lesbian. That is the story I would have rather read. Look, I will read Sonya Lalli again because I feel like she is a good writer, I just really did not approve of this plot. I loved how Lalli wrote the relationship between Raina and her Nani, but Raina was horrifically blind to how wrong and awful it was to pretend to be a lesbian. I really wish someone in this book would have had a flat out two pages of monologue telling her off and going into depth on why this was so wrong of her to do. This book started out so promising, but then it took a hard left turn and never recovered, stringing the readers along on a bad premise that goes on for far too long.
There was a lot of good in this book, but the bad parts leave you uncomfortably shifting in your seat knowing that this is problematic. If someone did this irl I would block them from all social media and stop talking to them completely bc no one has time for that kind of twisted, self deprecating, and incognizant mindset.

I tried to be empathetic toward the main character, but her selfishness masked first as self-sacrifice, then as self-preservation, and finally as cowardice grated on my nerves. I found it extremely difficult to suffer through the entire narrative. By the time everything was resolved, I didn’t care anymore.
The cultural and scenic details were more interesting than the story.
