The Marriage Game series by Sara Desai is a set of romantic comedies set in San Francisco’s South Asian community. The series began with The Marriage Game in 2020, in which a woman agrees to let her father set her up through a Bollywood-style matchmaking process, only to clash with the man who shares her new office space. The Dating Plan and The Singles Table followed, each focused on a different couple from the same social world.

All three books deal with family expectations, cultural traditions, and the comedy that comes from modern dating colliding with old-school matchmaking. Desai writes with warmth and humor, and the San Francisco setting gives the series a distinct flavor. Readers who enjoy rom-coms with strong cultural grounding and ensemble casts will want to read all three.
