No Dating Till You're Married podcast

No Dating Till You're Married

Each week, debut South Asian author and presenter, Leela Rani Dua, reads you a chapter from her novel, No Dating Till You're Married, in this audiobook podcast. No Dating Till You're Married is a cross-cultural coming of age story, set between the nostalgia of the 90s and the millennial 2020s, following first-generation Indian-American, Aria Kohli. Everyone is getting married except Aria, and she's just fine with that. Aria Kohli, born to Indian immigrant parents and raised amongst her American peers, has led a semi-charmed kinda life. She’s got good friends, one who comes with benefits, parents who, as far as Indian parents go, are pretty chill, and a job she likes and is good at. Although she doesn't always feel like she fits in with the Indian diaspora that she is ancestrally connected to, the rest of her life is really starting to come together as long as she only goes home occasionally. But when her mother gets sick and her best friend-with-benefits wants a real relationship, she must decide which piece of each culture will define her adulthood. Gilmore Girls meets Crazy Rich Asians. New episodes drop weekly on Thursdays on Apple, Amazon, Spotify, and wherever you get your podcasts. No Dating Till You're Married has been shortlisted for the Mo Siewcharran Prize 2019. Hosted on Acast.
