WHEN DIMPLE MET RISHI started off well with humor and quirky characters - it's a fun romance but one that I felt lost its way a little. 
 When we are first introduced to Dimple and Rishi, they are given unique backstories and personalities that made them stand out and be memorable. They are a little nerdy and have some interesting qualities, but unfortunately, I feel like they lost that uniqueness as the book progressed. 
 Rishi lasted as a naive, good-natured friendly guy for maybe a hundred pages before he became a charismatic and protective love interest. Their hobbies, coding and drawing, respectively, were a major part of them but were sort of pushed off to the side in favor of the romance, which slowed down the book and took over the plot. 
 There was an effort to establish a few side plots but they were not well fleshed out, making them seem sort of random and thrown in. The other events in the book were fairly predictable, but it is realistic in terms of culture and diversity, which was a huge plus. 
 Overall, I did end up caring about Dimple and Rishi a lot, and I really wanted to see them succeed. The message of the book is a good one and it is an enjoyable read if you like similar romances.
