It seemed like a good idea at the time. Lina Ray has a knack for pairing up perfect couples as a professional matchmaker in San Francisco, but her well-meaning, highly traditional Indian family wants her to get married. When her Auntie Kiki introduces Lina to the bachelor from hell at her sister's wedding in India, Lina panics and blurts out, "I'm engaged!" Because what's the harm in a little lie? Who's sari now? Lina scrambles to find a real fianc because Auntie Kiki will be coming to America soon to approve the match. But date after disastrous date gets her no closer to her prince -- until an actual prince arrives on her doorstep. Lina hasn't been able to stop fantasizing about traditional but dashing Raja Prasad since she met him in India. In fact, her imaginary fianc has begun to resemble him! Now Raja is in San Francisco and wants Lina to find a suitable bride for his brother. Though they live oceans apart, Lina longs to bridge the gap. But when her fantastic fib catches up with her, life is suddenly like a Bollywood flick gone horribly wrong. Lina may have an over-developed fantasy life, but she certainly never imagined things would turn out like this!

Stressed, Lina rushes to find herself a real fiancé before Auntie Kiki visits her to approve her match. However, her dates have not been successful, until she meets an actual prince. Lina can‘t seem to stop thinking of Raja Prasad, a typical but captivating prince. Raja has asked Lina to find his brother a suitable wife.

maira.garcia Lina accepts his request, not knowing what she's getting herself into. But when the truth about her imaginary man finally unfolds, her life soon turns into a catastrophe! If you like books involving romantic comedies, fiction and fantasies, this novel is perfect for you! 3y
maira.garcia The point of view of this novel is the first-person point of view. Lina, the main character, is telling the story. We see that the author mostly uses pronouns such as “I” and “We”. Also, we don‘t know the inner thoughts of other characters.

This book is about a professional matchmaker, Lina Ray, who can match couples easily, but has trouble finding love for herself. As her parents try to arrange a marriage for her, she cries out that she is engaged to the perfect man, knowing that she is very much single. As her lie grew deeper, she wasn‘t able to dig herself out. Therefore, she is now on a quest to find her perfect match.

maira.garcia If you like books that involve romance, humour and fantasy fiction, this book is perfect for you. A recurring motif found in this book is the recurring dishonesty in Lina‘s character. The significance of this motif is that her continuation of dishonesty led her to experience a guilty conscience and stress in finding true love.
