Description
She was told no dating. Now everyone wants her married. Same rules. Completely different game.
No Dating Till You're Married is an Indian-American audiobook podcast novel. Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians.
Aria Kohli grew up first-generation, code-switching, and quietly building a life that made sense to everyone. Good job. Great friends. A situationship with her best friend that is absolutely fine, thank you. Her parents told her not to date, so she didn't. Much.
But when her mother gets sick, her best friend starts asking for something real, and the Indian marriage profiles start multiplying, Aria has to figure out which pieces of each culture she actually wants to carry into adulthood. Not which ones look right. Which ones feel right.
Cross-cultural. 90s nostalgia. Millennial 2020s. Arranged marriage drama. Bollywood flashbacks. A love story that doesn't fit either world's script.
Debut author Leela Rani Dua reads her coming-of-age rom-com one chapter at a time, every Thursday. Shortlisted for the Mo Siewcharran Prize 2019. All episodes available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and wherever you listen.
Start from the beginning, you'll want to.
