The book just meets my expectations-- it is so sweet that it could give you a toothache. Since the plot is very romantically driven, there were no events that truly surprised me. Nevertheless, the romance is adorable, and I appreciated that it was sex-positive and discussed consent without becoming explicit. 
 The depiction of arranged marriage was interesting; I appreciated that it was shown in the light that it wasn't as harmful as many people would expect and how Dimple and Rishi were constantly renegotiating the terms of their relationship to fit into their expectations of what both of them wanted to do with their lives. The most awesome part of this story was how phrases in Hindi were interwoven without necessarily being translated-- it let the reader feel a bit more involved in the story and made me look more closely at this language with which I interact with very rarely. 
 My problems with this book fell mostly into my expectation that these two protagonists would deal with things in a non-cliched way. The antagonists were rich, private-school assholes with very little to redeem them. We are not meant to understand them whatsoever, and I think that could be confusing for some of my students who could honestly use more positive depictions of how to interact with people different from them. PLUS there was such an opportunity to explore more of the tech world since it takes place at a DAMN TECH CONFERENCE, yet Dimple's supposedly life-changing app is mentioned maybe two times with no specificity. 
 This book would go on my realistic fiction shelf with my other teen romances. I would push this on my kids who love Sarah Dessen and Jenny Han, especially those who read Sarah Dessen in hopes that they would at least gain a bit more cultural appreciation as they rot their teeth out.
