The irresistible companion novel to theNew York TimesbestsellerWhen Dimple Met Rishi, which follows Rishiβs brother, Ashish, and a confident fat athlete named Sweetie as they both discover what love means to them.
Ashish Patel didnβt know love could be soβ¦sucky. After being dumped by his ex-girlfriend, his mojo goes AWOL. Even worse, his parents are annoyingly, smugly confident they could find him a better match. So, in a moment of weakness, Ash challenges them to set him up.
The Patels insist that Ashish date an Indian-American girlβunder contract. Per subclause 1(a), heβll be taking his date on βfunβ excursions like visiting the Hindu temple and his eccentric Gita Auntie. Kill him now. How is this ever going to work?
Sweetie Nair is many things: a formidable track athlete who can outrun most people in California, a loyal friend, a shower-singing champion. Oh, and sheβs also fat. To Sweetieβs traditional parents, this last detail is the kiss of death.
Sweetie loves her parents, but sheβs so tired of being told sheβs lacking because sheβs fat. She decides itβs time to kick off the Sassy Sweetie Project, where sheβll show the world (and herself) what sheβs really made of.
Ashish and Sweetie both have something to prove. But with each date they realize thereβs an unexpected magic growing between them. Can they find their true selves without losing each other?
