Delightful short story of the continuation of Dimple and Rishi’s relationship. It’s nice to see them learning from the past and moving toward the future.

If you read When Dimple Met Rishi and wondered what happened next for the main characters... wonder no more! This sweet short picks up a year later and Rishi and Dimple try to figure out what they want and what's next for their relationship. It's a quick read, and will leave you with all sorts of happy feels.

SO STINKING CUTE. I love getting to see more of Dimple and Rishi, I loved seeing Sweetie too! Rishi is SO romantic.

Manufactured conflict for the sake of drama, so much telling instead of showing, and no real plot. Would have been nicer to see the characters actually doing something rather than standing around talking for the entire short story.
Also I get that Rishi is meant to be rich, but having an iced coffee served to him on a silver platter by his family's housekeeper was completely over the top.

I've ranked other books in this series between 3-4 stars, and those reviews are posted. This short was solid but didn't have time to leave much of an impression either away. It was considerably shorter than expected, as it contained an unexpected a preview of the next book.

Oddly enough, this is billed as 1.5, but takes place after 2.

Oh my god this was the cutest thing ever?!
I was smiling thoroughout and at the climax I legit had to put aside my phone, squeal for a while and take deep breath because it's SO FREAKING ADORABLE!

Also omg cameos by Ashish and Sweetie, these cuties have my entire heart, okay. Also lol India parents on point! 🤦🏻🤣

Definitely the closure I needed to Dimple and Rishi's stories 😍

Cute addition to follow up Dimple and Rishi's story. Didn't add a ton, but it was fun to visit with all the characters again.
