Ah!!!!! What a fantastic end to the Dimpleverse! Sad to see it end, but what a bang to end it on!

Still not possible for me to read a Sandhya Menon book and not wind up with a huge smile on my face. Love this.

Full review to come.

I loved getting another edition in the Dimple/Rishi universe. It was so delightful to get to know these very different characters. I loved the slow burn romance. Plus I’m a sucker for a happy ending always. I would absolutely love if there could be another book in the series. Maybe one about Dolly?

I enjoyed Pinky and Samir’s story who we first meet in There’s Something About Sweetie. This book is your typical fake boyfriend troupe but it really works well in this story. Both of our characters grew over the course of the summer. Unfortunately for fans of the previous books, only Ashish has the briefest of mentions at the beginning and end of the story. I hope that the author writes an epilogue of all six of these characters in the future to see how everyone turns out.

Almost quit about halfway through, but I kept going and the second half definitely picked up. Overall though, still my least fave of the Sandhya Menon books I've read, which is sad. I just didn't find the main character all that believable initially, and the romance took a long time to click. 2.5 stars, rounded up for awesome casual diversity and some cute scenes.

My least favorite of hers so far. Pinky was annoying and the whole resolution came too quickly. I give her and Samir a year tops.

I read this for The Reading Rush - WOW WOW WOW. I love this book so much! I'll write a review soon!

Update July 28

When I requested the ARC for 10 Things I Hate About Pinky I didn't realize it was the third book of the Dimple and Rishi series (I wish Netgalley would change this so we could clearly see when a book is part of a series). This was a 5 star read even without reading the other two books. Honestly, loved this so much! The perfect summer read ♥
