My Thoughts

I loved DATING DR. DIL so much. I loved that it was a retelling of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Sharma did an excellent job with the execution, creating a hot steamy romance that leaves you wanting for more. I got caught up in Kareena’s and Prem’s lives and wanted to know how their story would end. I also really loved the double POV and being in both of their heads. The enemies-to-lovers trope is one of my favorites and DATING DR. DIL did not disappoint. Kareena and Prem had so much chemistry together, including awesome bantering and amazing sexual tension.

I especially enjoyed being a part of Kareena’s and Prem’s culture. I honestly didn’t know much about the American desi culture. I loved all the descriptions of the clothing, parties, and food. Oh the food! I’m now craving Indian from my favorite local restaurant. The strong familial influence, sometimes to the detriment of the characters mental health, and the pressure for Indian women to be married and having kids before 30 really resonated with me.

My one gripe was the fact that I couldn’t get past a few descriptions of Prem’s manhood. I mean calling his penis Charlie is one thing, but acting like “Charlie” is a sentient being was just too much for me.
