When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh what a great book, full of highs and lows as we get to know and follow feisty Dimple Shah as she embarks on the InsomiaCon program in San Francisco (to prove her coding worth to the world & herself) little does she know her parents have conspired with old friends for an arranged marriage with a nice suitable Indian boy. I loved Rishi Patel; he was the real deal, loved his parents, a pleasing personality and oh so much a romantic! After he sees Rishi and calls her "future wife" (he assumes she knows all about this) indomitable Dimple throws her iced coffee on him & all his hopes down the sink. I just loved Sandya Menon's words- she made me believe in both these teens, their culture, their insecurities, and finally their feelings & unshakable belief in each other's dreams. Highly recommended, you will fall in love with Dimple, Rishi, Celia, Ashish and their life changing time spent together in San Francisco, chasing hopes and realizing dreams can come true!

Jazz in Love by Neesha Meminger

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Jazz is a normal teen with loving Indian parents who decide to put her on the "guided dating plan" after seeing her hug a lifelong friend. Jazz is a bright student, part of the genius club, obedient, and a smart aleck. Now that she is supposed to think about marriage at age 17, things get funny,desperate, and out of control. The guy her parents pair her with is from Canada and gay, but Jazz and Mit decide to have this work to both their advantage. Jazz falls for the "new" guy in school, who would definitely not be on her parents approved list of suitors. In spending all her time with the new guy, Jazz skips school, ignores her friends, and starts getting into trouble. Readers of all kinds will enjoy this humorous, yet drama-filled look at a young teen and her world.
