I was sent an ARC from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. 
 When Dimple Met Rishi follows two Indian American characters, Dimple and Rishi, whose parents have decided to put into an arranged marriage. Dimple initially thinks she is just going to be attending a pre-college program focussed in app development but she is unknowingly sent to also meet Rishi, who is the only one of the two aware of their parents' plan, however he is under the impression that Dimple already knows. This leads her to quickly find out about her parent's plan and is instantly opposed against it. Dimple initially doesn't want anything to do with Rishi but they soon develop a romance. 
 The book did a great job at developing their relationship. It was a bit of a slow burn but the development into a romantic relationship felt very natural. Dimple and Rishi had really great chemistry and their romance was a lot of fun to read about. It's also realistic, as they do discuss things like sex and college. 
 I loved both Dimple and Rishi individually as characters. Dimple had a really strong voice, as proven when she told her parents she wouldn't marry Rishi. It was also interesting reading a character with such a unique hobby, that being coding. There's also a scene where she dresses up like Daria, which I loved as someone who loved the show as a kid. Rishi was also a great character and I loved his character development. He respected Dimple throughout the novel, and his love for art and comic books was a great addition to him. He clearly had a really passion for it. I also love how much he loves being Indian and Hindu. I loved when POC characters embrace the culture they come from as sometimes it can be swept under the rug. 
 If you enjoy YA contemporary, I highly recommend you pick this one up.
