Menon, Sandyha – When Dimple Met Rishi

Rishi and Dimple’s very traditional East Indian parents are conspiring to arrange their children’s future marriage. Obedient son Rishi knows this and looks forward to meeting his future bride, but modern feminist Dimple hasn’t got a clue—until she and Rishi are assigned to be partners during a summer coding camp and Rishi accidentally blurts out the news. Horrified, Dimple declares she wants nothing to do with her parents’ plans—but the more she gets to know Rishi, the more she realizes that she really, really likes him. Can she overlook the awkwardness of their initial meeting, or is their relationship doomed from the start? Recommended for Grades 8 Up for romantic content.
