Summary

To Leila Abid's traditional Indian parents, finding a husband is as easy as match, meet, marry. But for Leila, a marriage of arrangement clashes with her lifelong dreams of a Bollywood romance, where real love happens before marriage, not the other way around. Yet after twenty-six years of singledom, and still no sign of "Mr. Perfect," even Leila is starting to get nervous. And to make matters worse, her parents are panicking, the neighbors are talking, and she's wondering if her expectations are just too high. Tasked with the impossible missino of satisfying her parents, while also fulfilling her own Western ideals of love, Leila decides it's finally time to stop dreaming and start searching. But after a series of speed dates, blind dates, online dates, and even ambush dates, the sparks just don't fly. Now, with the marriage clock ticking, and a three-month deadline looming on the horizon, Leila must face the consequences of what might happen if she doesn't find "the one"..
