The story: Finally! Dimple is getting out of the house and away from her parents' stifling expectation that she's going to meet the Ideal Indian husband, get married, and have a bunch of kids. She's on her way to college, via a coding convention. Rishi, on the other hand, is okay with the idea of meeting the girl his parents have decided will make a suitable wife for him. They seem like polar opposites--but somehow that doesn't explain the way sparks fly when they end up as partners. In more than one sense of the word.

Liz's comments: On-page sex make it a non-starter for my MS library. Not sure what the SLJ reviewer who rated it 7th grade and up was thinking. Otherwise, a fun and fluffy read with some important thoughts about different ways of being true to yourself.
