When Dimple Met Rishi was everywhere. I heard so many good things about the book that I had to pick it up. I found it on sale and bought it and then it sat on my shelf for a few months. Thankfully I managed to actually pick it up and read this book.

Menon has a gift for creating such dynamic characters. The summer before heading off to college Dimples wants nothing more then to go to an elite coding course. She is overjoyed when her parents agree to pay for it. Although, she is less than thrilled when she finds out they agreed so that she would meet Rishi who just happens to be the boy she is arranged to be married to.

Dimple is caught between the world of her mother that is filled with makeup and marriage and her world of computer programming. This is a story about growing up and reevaluating your perceptions on life. It is done with exceptional writing and amazing story telling.
