“Utterly charming.” —Mindy Kaling
“Effervescent.” —Chicago Tribune
“Full of warm characters and sweet romance.” —Entertainment Weekly
“Get ready to fall in love with Dimple Shah and Rishi Patel.” —HelloGiggles

The rom-com everyone’s talking about! Eleanor & Park meets Bollywood in this hilarious and heartfelt novel about two Indian-American teens whose parents conspire to arrange their marriage.

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.

This was the cutest thing ever. I really really enjoyed this one.

A nice story about respecting your roots but also to try to find yourself. I liked that the Indian culture was explained and to see how Dimple and Rishi learn from each other and booth find a way to do what they want and learn that their parents will understand them. I am a bit sad that Insomnia Con wasn't explained more and that we didn't got to learn more about Dimples app. But still this book is a really nice read.

Zu Beginn fand ich das Buch wirklich gut aber mit Beginn der zweiten Hälfte wurde es mir zu klischeehaft und vorhersehbar. Trotzdem ein Buch das mich gut unterhalten hat.

Rishi being a perfect gentleman? In this economy??? Anyway he's adorable and I love him and Dimple in the same way I love Yadriel and Julian from Cemetery Boys

It's not worth the hype.

I'm not in the mood to write a proper review, so here's just some things that bothered me about this: Sexism disguised as feminism If I were to describe Dimple in one phrase: not like other girls. Barf. She doesn't enjoy make up or other "girly" things and obviously her opinion is the only one that counts. She is constantly underestimating the women around her, especially her family, because she, our great feminist icon, is the first woman ever to have thoughts and wishes of her own. But god forbid any other girl goes after what she wants. Dimple is an asshole She is really...violent? Dimple keeps hitting Rishi, shoving him, thinking about how she wants to hurt him...this is an abusive relationship in the making, folks. Dimple is also not a team player. I can't say that I enjoy working in groups myself, but I really don't like how she doesn't compromise and always has to get her will. She is just a really unsympathetic character with no regards for the feelings of others and Rishi honestly deserves better. There's no actual coding in this Maybe a small nitpick, but I was really excited by the premise of the competition - teens inventing and coding their own apps by themselves. I was all the more bummed that we don't get to see any coding in this book. They keep talking about how their app is coming along,but the process itself is never shown. Geez, we see more preparation for the damn talent show than the actual competition. It's almost as if the author chose an interesting topic for her characters to be interested in, but refused to do the necessary research.

2.5 stars. Too much drama, too much convenience (and then phases of inconvenience) and not enough coding. I am a girl in IT myself, I hoped there would be more than two buzzwords about web development in this. I felt connected to Dimple in the beginning but that got lost in the middle of the book. Rishi is clearly not made for engineering and you see it. But I did not see that Dimple is logical or fitting for actually develop. She has ideas and is creative in terms of e.g. usability but no coding action. Rishi was loveblind and too pushed around. He is too sweet and chewy to be a good cinnamon roll. The romance was good in the beginning and I tought it would be a good hate-to-love. But it got into instant attraction very fast.

It started super strong! Unique set-up, diverse characters, very very cute romance. The last third was a bit rushed, a little messy in an unbelievable way. I still liked it though :)

Whelp, I should have really believed all the reviews. This book is not it.
