The perfect book to add to my shelves and hand over to my Highschool students who love to read romance and romantic comedy's. And to make this even better it shows the life's of two Indian American teens with immigrant parents and how each teen chooses to navigate between old world and new. Seamlessly done.

This started really slowly, but really built up to something good. One slight problem for me was the ages of the main characters; they didn't feel like teens to me. Maybe I'm wrong, and they were super teenagery, but....I think they were too mature. All of them, not even just the main two (Dimple and Rishi, obvs.). I found that enjoyable, because I'm an adult person and who cares? But I don't know if teens will find that enjoyable. This *almost* feels like a YA book written for adult readers.

Still, the love story was adorable, and I liked the secondary love story being thrown in for kicks.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the digital ARC.

WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI is an utter delight. It is charming and funny and presents a nuanced look at a culture many readers won't have explored. It is dual POV, and I really enjoyed seeing both sides of the romance. I feel like that's done a lot in adult romance, but I haven't seen it as much in YA. The parents are present and involved, the characters are flawed (in a good way). Sexuality is presented thoughtfully and honestly. I can't wait to read more from this author!

This was a fun, light hearted YA romance that explored the relationship between two Indian recent high school graduates. I enjoyed the cultural references, as well as the characters. It was an easy read that kept me engaged throughout.
