I knew I would probably (hopefully) love it but I was definitely a little wary going in because these is always the chance you will be the black sheep on these things. When Dimple Met Rishi was not what I expected. I knew that the MCs had Indian parents and were involved in an arranged marriage but my idea of what this book would be like was very different to what I got and I was really impressed. Dimple was so easy to like. She wasn't willing to give into her mother's wish for her to marry and find herself the 'Ideal Indian Husband'. She wasn't even willing to give in about wearing makeup and putting in her contacts just to entice a man. Instead, she id focused on pursuing web design. I loved her passion and her focus, even if I didn't fully understand it because I certainly didn't know what I what I wanted to do at eighteen. I think Dimple's focus and unwillingness to compromise herself for any reason that made me both like her and dislike her. She was far too unwilling to compromise when it comes to others. Even when it meant angering her friends and those close to her. It was her worst quality and was something which came between her and Rishi and it was annoying. I did like seeing her grow throughout the book, though. And then there was Rishi. I didn't think I'd like him as much, I mean, he was close to his parents and willing to follow the path which they wished for him. He was willing to sacrifice a lot to do what was expected. He was awkward and cute and I loved him. I wasn't even overly bothered by the fact he had money and was privileged because he didn't flaunt it. He was just an adorable cinnamon roll and I think I loved him. I was just as frustrated by him as Dimple but I felt his reservations were far more logical. Wanting a secure future, whilst not totally believable for a teenager, is not a bad thing and so I got why he was so hesitant to pursue all of his dreams. I found the whole book very adorable, though. And for both Dimple and Rishi their Indian heritage was obvious and I loved how Rishi honoured it so much and then Dimple was learning parts of her culture was ingrained because that was how she was raised. She considered how her parents would react to big decisions and even her quest to design an app was partially done to make her father proud of her. I loved this, it was a brilliant YA and demonstrates the genre is totally growing. I want more diverse reads like this one. Fingers crossed this is the start of a trend. Review: A light and fun read perfect for lovers of contemporary romance - I love the trope of people in an arranged marriage falling in love and I've never been able to understand why it isn't more popular. WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI really makes its premise work with an effective use of dual POV and its excellent main characters. This is exactly the kind of YA contemporary I've been looking for lately, when the characters are at the end of their high school careers and contemplating the future. But what was especially important to me was that WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI felt very focused on the now instead of spiralling about the future, I guess since I've been struggling with that myself lately. Dimple and Rishi do worry from time to time, but it was so wonderful to see them really focus on the summer, which is magical both because of their budding romance and the chance they have to seize their dreams. These two plots are well balanced and complement each other wonderfully. I'm not usually won over by contemporary allocishet romance, and I can't help comparing this to the last YA contemporary romance that I enjoyed (THE SUN IS ALSO A STAR), especially since they seem to follow the same pattern of a whip-smart, geeky, science-oriented and practical girl falling for an artistic, sensitive, and romantic boy. Aside from the romance not forcing Dimple’s and Rishi's other ambitions into the backseat, what I appreciated most about the romance was Menon's depiction of their vulnerability with each other. For me, this is absolutely key to a believable romance, and WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI more than did an adequate job. I only had a couple problems which prevented this being a five star read. The first is that, for a rom-com, I didn’t find it funny. This is an absolutely subjective thing, and I’m sure my sense of humour just didn’t mesh with this book’s. However, I did find it utterly charming and was smiling constantly throughout several scenes, so this wouldn’t have impacted my enjoyment of the book had I gone in with different expectations. Finally, a huge part of Dimple’s characterisation is feeling alienated due to having a different view of femininity than her mother, and seemingly anyone else. While I loved how quickly Dimple bonded with Celia and how Dimple never denigrated her for her traditionally feminine hobbies and presentation, I felt it was unlikely that Dimple couldn’t have ever encountered another teenage girl who wears casual clothes, doesn’t do anything with her hair, and doesn’t wear makeup, especially at Insomnia Con. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,021,680 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 33 in Computer Programming for Young Adults 412 in Books on Being a Teen for Young Adults 499 in Romantic Comedy for Young Adults | | Book 1 of 3 | Dimple and Rishi | | Customer reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (1,865) | | Dimensions | 14.7 x 2.4 x 20.2 cm | | ISBN-10 | 1473667402 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1473667402 | | Item weight | 260 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 384 pages | | Publication date | 1 Jun. 2017 | | Publisher | Hodder Paperbacks | ## Images ![When Dimple Met Rishi: Now on Netflix as 'Mismatched' - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81AZohb2ZLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Awesome and Diverse Read *by B***Y on 11 July 2017* This book is adorable!
