THE SET UP

Together, Soneela Nankani and Vikas Adam narrate an entertaining and tame #OwnVoices romance novel. Neither Aditi nor Krishna wants a relationship, let alone an arranged marriage. But when their grandparents ask them to consider getting to know each other, they reluctantly agree to three dates. Despite the first one being a disaster, they meet again, forming a friendship. Will the third date be the charm? Listeners will be delighted by this short and lively story. Both narrators capture Aditi's and Krishna's personalities, along with the chemistry between the unenthusiastic would-be couple. Nankani's portrayal of the strong-willed Aditi is nearly perfect, as is Adam's narration of the charming Krishna, making this a short, enjoyable listening experience for romance enthusiasts.
