Book of Interest: When Dimple Met Rishi

Despite having a busy weekend, I did manage to find a new book of interest which I also added to my wishlist. When Dimple Met Rishi is being touted as a Young Adult romantic comedy which is great because I love books that make me laugh.

I think the cover looks adorable, just a happy go lucky girl who has no idea her family is planning on arranging a marriage for her. I can't wait to read this, I have to see how this turns out.

Does this seem like a book that would interest you?



Book: When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon

Publication: May 30, 2017

Description:

A laugh-out-loud, heartfelt YA romantic comedy, told in alternating perspectives, about two Indian-American teens whose parents have arranged for them to be married.

Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right?

Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him—wherein he’ll have to woo her—he’s totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself.

The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not?

Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways.
