Blurb from Goodreads:
Meet Dimple.
Her main aim in life is to escape her traditional parents, get to university and begin her plan for tech world domination.
Meet Rishi.
He's
rich, good-looking and a hopeless romantic. His parents think Dimple is
the perfect match for him, but she's got other plans...
Dimple
and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when
opposites clash, love works even harder to prove itself in the most
unexpected ways.
My Review:
*I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton and NetGalley*
Dimple
comes from a traditional family. Her mother wants her to marry a nice,
Indian boy, but Dimple loves coding and wants a career.
Rishi
is a romantic who is close to his parents and wants to be the dutiful
first-born son and make them proud. His parents believe that Dimple
would be a good wife for him, as do her own parents. Unknown to Dimple,
they organise for Rishi and Dimple to attend the same summer program for
aspiring web developers. The two meet but it doesn't go as Rishi plans.
Dimple doesn't want a relationship, but can Rishi persuade her otherwise?
When Dimple Met Rishi was a very cute read.
I enjoyed reading about an Indian protagonist(s) for a change. It was refreshing and interesting.
I
really liked both Dimple and Rishi. They were relatable, believable and
I wanted to be friends with both of them. I liked Celia and Rishi's
brother as well.
The romance wasn't over the top and I thought Dimple and Rishi were adorable together.
The
plot was good and held my attention, but I wasn't gripped. I found
myself tearing up a few times (not good seeing as I was at work!).
Overall this was an enjoyable, unique read.
