Kriti Pandya
The eldest daughter of the Pandya family.
I have three nonnegotiable conditions for marriage:
I will continue working after marriage, even after having children.
I won’t sleep with my husband for the first six months.
I will have full control over the money I earn..
After being rejected and ridiculed by countless men for my unreasonable demands, I meet him.
Aakar Mishra, the eldest son of the Mishra family.
The first man who not only agrees to my conditions but also believes they’re perfectly reasonable.
The man who bends the unwritten rules of arranged marriage to truly get to know me.
The man who takes me on dates and long drives.
The man who lives in a joint family of fourteen.
The man who expects me to move in with his large family and make it my own after marriage.
Yikes.
Coming from a small nuclear family, I’m worried I won’t be a good daughter-in-law. But more than that, I’m downright terrified of losing myself in the process.
And what happens when family secrets start to emerge, forcing me to choose between being a good wife—or a good daughter-in-law?
Will this arranged marriage bring us the love we’ve always longed for?
