When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
5.0
My little Indian heart is content!
When Dimple Met Rishi is such a fun, light, heartwarming contemporary novel. I truly loved every single thing in the book. No complaints and no demands (it's a Bollywood movie dialogue...sorry I couldn't help it).
I've always wanted to read a book with Indian main characters and this one did not disappoint. It was utterly perfect. All the Hindi phrases and Bollywood references had me smiling like a geek. It literally had me laughing out loud at times. Like I said my Indian heart is happy.
Dimple Shah and Rishi Patel. First of all shoutout to my Patel boy!! #Represent #PatelPride (again so sorry for that). Both the characters were very relatable and portrayed really well. Following their journey felt like I was there with them experiencing everything they went through. Dimple is sort of stubborn, determined, and wants to do her own thing. While Rishi is optimistic, gentle, and truly respects his culture and values. The scene where they first meet is literally epic...lol.
I'd also like to take this moment and say: Rishi, Tujhme rab dikhta hai 😍
Sandhya Menon created a great world. She represented the Indian aspects so well and I couldn't be happier. She broke the stereotypes associated with forced arranged marriage and strict Indian parents and showed the other side of spectrum. Bless her 👐
I think it was kismet that showed me this book existed. I promise you go read this book and it will not disappoint. It is super delightful and fast read.
Oh oh and Sandhya Menon mentionts pani puri in 'about the author section.' So brb while I go be best friends with her.
