I pulled a TBR prompt to read a young adult contemporary. I’m trying to read more from my own TBR and between the TBR prompt and Summer of Love it seemed like a great time to pick up When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon.
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect but I felt like I had heard a lot of great praise for Dimple when it first released. I had higher than normal expectations for When Dimple Met Rishi before I started reading. Honestly, I really enjoyed the story. I also liked that it was being told by both Dimple and Rishi.
The inclusion of Indian culture was particularly wonderful for me. I didn’t have a lot of exposure to different cultures growing up. It makes me appreciative to learn about different cultures.
The relationship between Dimple and her mother was something special to watch. I’m a sucker for relationships with family members where it is a prickly relationship but when it matters the relationship is solid.
I have to admit to being frustrated with Dimple during times in the book. While I can understand what she was thinking, I couldn’t agree with her. Dimple and Rishi’s relationship isn’t easy but it was fun to watch the ups and the downs. I liked Rishi and could identify with his personality more.
I really enjoyed When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon and I’ll probably be continuing the series!
