Waiting on Wednesday: When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon


This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we're waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It's hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!

When Dimple Met Rishi


     A laugh-out-loud, heartfelt YA romantic comedy, told in alternating perspectives, about two Indian-American teens whose parents have arranged for them to be married.
     Dimple Shah has it all figured out. With graduation behind her, she’s more than ready for a break from her family, from Mamma’s inexplicable obsession with her finding the “Ideal Indian Husband.” Ugh. Dimple knows they must respect her principles on some level, though. If they truly believed she needed a husband right now, they wouldn’t have paid for her to attend a summer program for aspiring web developers…right?
     Rishi Patel is a hopeless romantic. So when his parents tell him that his future wife will be attending the same summer program as him—wherein he’ll have to woo her—he’s totally on board. Because as silly as it sounds to most people in his life, Rishi wants to be arranged, believes in the power of tradition, stability, and being a part of something much bigger than himself.
     The Shahs and Patels didn’t mean to start turning the wheels on this “suggested arrangement” so early in their children’s lives, but when they noticed them both gravitate toward the same summer program, they figured, Why not?
     Dimple and Rishi may think they have each other figured out. But when opposites clash, love works hard to prove itself in the most unexpected ways.

Why I'm Waiting: Did someone say ROM COM? Of COURSE I'm waiting on this! And the fact that it's told from both POV's so we get ALL of the awkward that's sure to come? (Rom coms are normally ALWAYS awkward!) And since they seem to be opposites, I can wait to see how they attract each other and fall for each other. Also, I CANNOT STAND HOW FREAKIN CUTE THIS COVER IS lol 

What are you waiting on this week?
Anyone waiting on this with me?
