Originally published: London : Orion, 2017, under the title: The arrangement.
Includes readers guide.
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.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
tradition submitted by pamhockey25 on August 8, 2022, 6:40pm while I enjoyed some aspects of this book, I had issues with other aspects. Yes, it's about tradition, matchmaking and dates, but it's billed as a rom-com and it's really more of women's fiction. so if you know that going in, that will probably help you have the right mindset before reading the book.
