It's a charming, utterly adored NA/YA book. Although predictable, it was nonetheless funny and witty. I like the variety of the story and the overt comedy. In contrast to Dimple, who was a cynic, ambitious, and utterly opposed to marriage,…

It was a really cute story!! There was a fair amount of culture in it and talked a lot about parental expectations and it was really nice to see how both Dimple and Rishi handled them. It touched on ideas of racial discrimination and rich…

It was really nice to read a story set on a college campus. I would have loved a story like this when I was new to being out on my own. Plus, who doesn't love the interference of meddling parents to add a little drama?

4 Stars - I recommend if you are looking for a contemporary read with diverse voices and endearing characters. I particularly loved the commentary on the "American Dream" and how the characters found their places within that. This novel…
