Publisher's Summary
A perfect disaster - or a perfect match? Find out in this heartfelt rom-com novella....
"Just three dates. That's all I'm asking. One boy shares your sense of humor. Another has similar interests and ideals. The third boy has a helpful heart like yours."
When Aditi Gupta comes home late from work as a pediatric resident one night and her grandfather offers this pitch, she reluctantly agrees. She's far too busy with med school to be dating, and besides, she dreams of a love for the ages, like her parents, not an arranged marriage. And yet she finds herself agreeing to three dates because she loves her grandfather. All she has to do is make herself utterly ineligible and problem solved!
And sure enough her first date with the disgustingly handsome and intriguing Krishna Lal goes exactly as planned: not well! But then the second date comes around and Aditi finds that there is more at stake than just three bad dates. Suddenly, her heart is on the line, and maybe her grandfather's, too.

The annual Valentine’s Day singles soiree is always a big money-maker for Eloisa Giordono’s winery. What could be more romantic than looking for love at a quaint family vineyard on the most romantic night of year? Well, just about anything as far as Eloisa is concerned. She’s a Valentine’s Day Grinch who thinks it’s the lamest, most clichéd holiday ever invented. But Eloisa is thrown for a loop when a sexy, self-described hopeless romantic shows up at the singles soiree and keeps her captivated.

Gracie Reed is doing just fine. Sure, she was fired by her overly “friendly” boss, and yes, she still hasn’t gotten her mother into the nursing home of their dreams, but she’s healthy, she’s (somewhat) happy, and she’s (mostly) holding it all together. But when a mysterious SUV pulls up beside her, revealing Chinese cinema's golden couple Wei Fangli and Sam Yao, Gracie’s world is turned on its head. The famous actress has a proposition: Due to their uncanny resemblance, Fangli wants Gracie to be her stand-in.

Paint your toes. Pick up the wrong coffee and bagel order. Drive from Brooklyn to Jersey in traffic so slow you want to tear your hair out. It’s amazing all the useless things I can accomplish while on hold for three hours with customer service. Three hours when I should be getting the Date-in-a-Box website ready to launch at the big business expo in a few days. Except my shiny new website is glitching, and my inner rage-monster is ready to scorch some earth...when he finally picks up. Not the robot voice I expected but a real live human named Kal.

A little bland. Not much happens
A bit repetitive too. Like a few other audible originals, it alternates between the 2 main characters' points of view.
I found the female protagonist a bit annoying and quite rude. Narration is fine.

Nice. Neat
This is a lovely novel, and I can’t comment too much about it, without giving spoilers!
As I’m English (& Black), this is not my usual genre at all! But it was a very enjoyable quick read, introducing me to a new author, so with her help, I think that I have indeed found a new genre to add to my quiver! Certainly I shall read more of hers, if this isn’t a fluke!
If it isn’t, this is an author worth sticking with! Her characters are interesting, believable, and frank! 21st century Asians living in a 21st century USA, yet with echoes to a centuries old culture and caste system. Beautiful.

A good listen!
A very relatable and fun story about matchmaking grand parents. I definitely enjoyed the cultural and food references in this.
Recommended for all Indians who have faced arranged marriage setups.

Meh
Story itself is okay but the female narrator was horrendous. She couldn't pronounce some Indian words properly, she sounds like she was both auto tuned AND that she went to some British school for narration because her narration is so incredibly affected! Her narration ruined the novella for me.
