A fast read of a romantic comedy that parallels Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" in interesting ways. There's significant gender switching in that Mr. Darcy's personality and high-born get attributed to the female protagonist, a talented neurosurgeon from a family of Indian-American royalty.
The book is amusing but I kept getting annoyed because the story is ostensibly set in California, yet some of the American-born characters - and the narrator - relentlessly use British slang. The author's bio says she lives in Chicago, but her writing does not reflect American idioms in any way, shape or form.
