![]() ![]() In fact, she didn’t even know he existed. When his parents tell him they’ve arranged for him to meet their friends’ daughter at Insomnia Con, he leaps at the opportunity - maybe a bit too hard, because Dimple is anything but thrilled to meet him. ![]() Rishi Patel is a romantic who wants to find what his parents have achieved - a fairytale but practical marriage. To her surprise, her parents agree to pay for the summer program for aspiring web programmers she’s been eyeing up for years. Perfect cosy winter reading.ĭimple Shah is almost running out the door in her eagerness to get away from her overbearing, traditional-minded mother (who wants her to find the Ideal Indian Husband) and to start studying to become a web developer. ![]() When Dimple Met Rishi is the antidote to all that - cute and sweet, but with enough depth to not be irritating. ![]() A lot of the books I usually read feature unexpected (or expected) character deaths, or stressful situations, or characters coping with losing a parent (this particular trope keeps popping up unexpectedly since losing a parent myself last year, and I’m not a fan! Publishers, take note). Reading something comforting in bed with a hot water bottle was the only activity I could bear, and luckily When Dimple Met Rishi delivered in spades. I read this book at the perfect time: at the end of a particularly trying week, on the first day of a particularly nasty bug. ![]()
