At first I wasn’t super crazy about Dimple because she was so rude when it came to pretty much anything her mom said. Will Dimple be so put off by what her parents have set her up for that she refuses to make nice with Rishi, or will Rishi be able to win her over? LIKESĭimple and Rishi. Things take a turn for the even more awkward when Dimple and Rishi are then assigned to be partners for the duration of the camp and have to work on a project together. Talk about awkward! Dimple flings an iced coffee all over Rishi and runs off, afraid that he’s some kind of crazy stalker dude. When she arrives at campus, she is immediately accosted by some weird guy who greets her as his future bride. What a plan these parents have come up with! Too bad no one thought to clue Dimple in. Who is this ideal candidate? Why, Dimple of course, which explains why her parents were so quick to agree to her attending this summer camp. He knows that his parents have selected an ideal candidate to be his future wife, and so he is 100% on board when they tell him that he can meet her if he attends a summer camp at SFSU. Rishi is also a hopeless romantic who embraces the idea of arranged marriages. He will be attending MIT, a prestigious university that is sure to secure him a lucrative career. Dimple doesn’t think her parents will go for the idea, but when she broaches the subject with them, they’re all for it so off Dimple goes to SFSU. Dimple desperately wants a break from her mom’s nagging and knows what would make for a perfect means to escape, if her parents will go along with the idea: a summer program at San Francisco State University for aspiring web developers.

She can’t wait to move out and get away from her overbearing mother, who is obsessed with finding Dimple the “Ideal Indian Husband” and is constantly criticizing Dimple for not wearing makeup, for not doing more with her hair, and for, just in general, not doing more to attract the ideal husband. She has just graduated from high school and plans to attend Stanford University in the fall, where she will study web development and coding. And what a cute read it was! It’s fun, romantic in an adorably nerdy kind of way, and it also focuses a lot on family, especially the drama that can arise when children have hopes and dreams that are at odds with what their parents want for them.ĭimple Shah is a career-minded young woman. I was looking for a light contemporary read for my day off and when I read the synopsis for Sandhya Menon’s When Dimple Met Rishi, it sounded exactly like what I was looking for.
