She would like to go to Insomnia Con this summer before she starts college to participate in the coding competition and possibly meet her idol Jenny Lindt.ĭimple isn’t interested in clothes, contacts, or makeup. Ultimately, while there was potential with the premise, this book was a flop.What happens if you meet the exact right person for you at the exactly wrong time?ĭimple Shah wants to go to Stanford, focus on coding, and start her career. The dialog was so corny it was comical at times, and there was very little character depth (which I’ve come to expect out of characters their age). The plot was lacking - with a lot of events happening, but nothing really building. Finally, the exposure to Indian culture was fun, although a bit generic at times.ĭespite several redeeming qualities, I struggled with the overall writing style. I also enjoyed the portrayal of Dimple as a young female who is career driven in a technical field (while leaving Rishi, the young male, to be the hopeless romantic). Menon did a good job at writing scenes that made mundane acts (like sitting close to someone) seem romantic in the hyper aware way you experience as a teenager. There was something pure about the young emotions with which the main characters fell in love - but too much of their story was extremely cheesy and stunted to me. While it had a sweet innocence to the romance, it read much younger than it should have.

But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways. 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?ĭimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out.
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. 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. 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? Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. 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.
