What can you expect from this gorgeous YA book? Humour, lots of heart and prepare yourselves to be serenaded by a never-ending parade of cuteness. And so they meet, but sparks don’t exactly fly.

Here’s the DL on what you need to know about When Dimple Met Rishi. “Dimple Shah, I am stupidly, idiotically, annoyingly in love with you.” Said book is none other than the triumph that is Sandhya Menon’s impeccable YA debut that had me gasping for more.
