When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
3.0
3.2 out of 5 stars
*possible spoilers?*
I'm conflicted. On the one hand, I want to give tons of stars to this book because I was so ready for a good book with Indian culture.
I think When Dimple Met Rishi provided a good, modern day look into second/third generation kids within an American society.There were many Indian songs, movies, outfits, and cultural elements laid within the story. I loved all those parts of the book! I think Sandhya Menon did a nice job of creating a semi-realistic story.
Yet, the other aspects of this book were what bothered me. There were so many problematic issues that lessened the overall appeal of it.
