THE BLURB: With graduation behind her, Dimple Shah is more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.”
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.
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.
THE SCOOP: There is so much to love in this story! Learning about Indian culture and traditions through two very different second-generation immigrants is delightful. The opposites-attract romance storyline is one of my favorites, and I love how arranged marriages and cultural expectations played into it in this story. I especially appreciate having a hero who is gentle and interested in a committed relationship.
My only complaint is that I wish we'd spent more time with the lovebirds working on their app, since the STEM premise of the story was also fun for me.
THE VERDICT: Definitely for older teens, since the story includes sex. I can't wait to see what else this author writes!
