Super cute and fun! Loved the first half, but the second half felt a little all over the place. Overall, it was lighthearted and sweet and exactly what I thought it would be!

I wanted to respond to everyone's comments but I didn't want to come off repetitive so I'll express my gratitude on here. Thank you to everyone for being so supportive I don't have enough words to describe my love for y'all. Bless your souls In all seriousness, I never brought this bullshit onto my review to make the drama even bigger but I'm going to take advantage of this experience and help spread awareness.I admit, this experience was shitty. I never thought writing this review will lead to this type of bullshit. If I had the chance to go back in time and re-write my review. You will find the same review. I'll never change my opinions to satisfy anyone and I'll never stop writing honest reviews. My mom didn't carry me for 9 months to give birth to an ass kisser. I'm sorry for being blunt but if you don't like my opinion then please don't fight me on it. Please don't take it to other websites. If you're honestly upset over anything I've ever written then talk to me. I'm a very understanding person and I'm cool with anyone sharing their opinions; whether it be agreeing or disagreeing with mines. I hope you guys don't ever get discouraged and doubt your own reviews If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, then I advise you to keep being honest no matter what To the person who shall not be named even though she legit exposed my name, nice try honey. ************* Wow For those who got offended over my review, why don't you take a seat because I'm going to clear some shit up for you. I didn't pick this book up thinking it's going to be exactly like a Bollywood movie. That's bullshit. I just said I watched them. That's all. Is it a crime to watch Bollywood Movies? I never judged this book because it didn't live up to the expectations of a Bollywood movie or "the obvious stereotype of indians" as one said. That's bullshit. Idk why I have explain this shit but I'm left with no choice. Y'all need to know that I will never in my entire existence judge a book due to that reasoning. I'd punch my own self. I only judged this book due to its characters and how they pissed me off. I wasn't thinking about Bollywood movies or any stereotypes when I was writing my review. The thought never even crossed my mind. I have Indian friends and I know for a fact that Bollywood movies isn't an accurate representation of the Indian Culture. Where y'all got that from, I will never know. I've already listed out the frustrations I had with Dimple, so go look at it because I'm not re-typing it. If you don't agree with my opinion of Dimple then okay. Bye ! You're not forced to agree with me. For those who read my review whether on GR or Twitter (y'all idk how it even got to twitter. I'm shook!) I want you to know that it's not cool to take my words and twist it up. If you misunderstood my review then please say something. Don't take my shit to other websites. I've never been so angry. I literally said I watch Bollywood movies and y'all went crazy. What's next? Y'all going to arrest me for saying I like anime or something? If you had a problem with my review then please drop a comment telling me what got you angry. Even if, someone had taken upon themselves to grace the Twitter community with my review and said a few hateful things; Doesn't mean it's the truth. Doesn't mean you have the right to call me racist. I'm not even hurt because I know myself. I know, I'm not racist and if you got that vibe from me then you need to professional help. I'm not trying to be modest or anything but I'm the nicest person. I'm so down to learning about new cultures. I watch so many foreign things and listen to foreign music. I don't have a single racist bone in my body. My friends are so diverse. My family is POC. I'm so infuriated by that "racist" comment I'm so done with this shit. Idk what else you want me to say but if you still have any problems. Leave a fucking comment and don't let me find you on Twitter *****************dis·re·spect·/disrspek(t)/- showing a lack of respect or courtesy; impolite When Dimple Met Rishi more like When Dimple Met my Fist because I will forever be angry about the fact that this lil shit named Dimple wasted a perfect ice coffee. That was straight up disrespect. This girl literally stood in line to only throw an ice coffee at someone. Talk about ruuuuuuude like I get why she did it but no. My heart still hurts reading that scene like I swear i never knew how passionate i was about the ice coffee life until this book. Its funny how the ice coffee is on the cover and Im legit here like : I get it, I'm ranting over a fucking drink. But I'm just representing the ice coffee since it can't speak for itself. #justice4icecoffee. Alright. Reading this book was like ordering a prom dress from online. You see a dress on a randamn website and you think to yourself, "yo that's the one!" . Then, you have to wait for the prom queen worthy dress and when you get it, this is what happens :In other words: I've never felt so unsatisfied by a book in my entire life. Just like the prom dress, I was expecting to love this. I have a few friends who love Bollywood movies and made me watch them which I actually really enjoyed. When I seen this book, I thought it was cool to have an indian rep. Maybe get some Bollywood vibes. You feel me?? I even got myself hyped up because *cough* look at all those 4 or 5 star reviews *cough*. What a joke. I'm honestly wondering if I got the right book because whaa..?? I refuse to accept the fact that one of my anticipated releases was the biggest let down. I will forever question hype books or more like 4 or 5 star reviews from now on. I give up. #trustissues why did I hate this book?It's very easy, friends. Dimple. As in, "When Dimple met my Fist", Dimple. She's the reason why I hate this book. Well, she's among one of the reasons. Why? Dimple is such an annoying lil shit. I liked the ice coffee better than her and it was in the book for literally 2 seconds. I legit got angry at my cousin for no reason the other day because she has dimples and somehow that reminded me of Dimple. I don't think I can even look at Harry Styles anymore without associating him with Dimple but....... I'll fix that problem because Dimple ain't ruining Harry styles for me. Nope. It's just sad Would you believe that I actually liked her? For the first 20 pages or so? because I can't believe my own self. My hatred towards Dimple started ever since that ice coffee scene. I'm not saying that I have a grudge against her but that's exactly what I'm saying. I tolerated her character. I found her somewhat cool because she was a nerd, stood up for herself, wanted to pursue her dreams, and shit. I could feel the potential in her character. Then, she completely killed my hopes when she met Rishi. Her entire character changed. She went from tolerable to "wtf someone slap this lil shit " I would honestly pay someone $5 to explain to me why this girl changed like that? Is she a pokemon? Who switched her? Bring back the Dimple I liked in the first 20 pages because I just can't accept this new version of her. I was beyond annoyed. If she was real and literally took a breath, I would've screamed at her. Actual footage of me reading Dimple's parts : Her character was everywhere. It was a hot mess and idk where to begin describing her character. I just want to know how I managed to continue reading without flinging the book across the Atlantic Ocean. For Rishi, I actually liked the dude for more than 20 pages. He was okayish. I didn't mind him. Alright, I hated him a little. Most of the time, I was hopping between : "i like you" to "...bye" oh, let's talk about the plot where :) is :) it :) It's like googling something and if it's not on the first page then that's it. It's not there. It's not anywhere. Just like this plot. Okay, it was there for a bit in the beginning. I could see it going somewhere but then it vanished. Or it literally got split up and went different directions. Or I simply couldn't focus because Dimple was being an annoying lil shit. Yup, I'm just going to blame her. It's easier. Or the fact that they kept kissing every 5 seconds; because I was distracted by disgust to pay attention to the plot. what do you even like in this book, you say? Indian culture I was in it for the indian culture tbh let's not forget the ending Thank you for ending. There's so many things I want to say about this book but then again, who wants to sit here and type about my 99 problems. I'm just over it. I'm done. And to those who loved this book, y'all are incredible. Thank you for loving this for me. I was hoping to join the fangirling over this book but nah i don't think i'm cut out for this.Ugh. I'm honestly upset that this book didn't live up to my expectations. It had everything but this book will not discourage me from picking up other books by Sandhya Menon . I still have faith you will create another book that will be 100000 times better than this one. I'm hoping you prove me right. Please just don't add another character who is like Dimple. One of her is enough. Two of her will actually make me hate Harry styles. peace out suckas *drops mic*

dnf @ 45% or something??Great! as if all of my anticipated reads weren't disappointing!I DNFed Flame in the Mist, and The Love Interest was a fucking joke. this should actually be renamed 'When Disappointment Met Prabhleen'thank god though that disappointment is not a big ass bitch like Dimple Shah. also thank god I'm not a cheese fest guy like Mr. Rishi Patel. THANK THE GOD. I am going to go to a gurudwara today to pray. Thanks Guru Granth Sahib for not making me into a cringe fest. :) :)so, like everyone else, I was fucking excited to read this book. Please add some more excitement since I'm Indian! My parents are Indian! My grandparents are/were Indian! Everyone in my family is Indian! Everyone in my school is Indian! (ok except for this guy who is a citizen of Australia but let's ignore him for now)the thing is, I have read a lot of books. NEVER have I ever seen an Indian protagonist. Like, never.upto a point, I was fine with that. but with all these discussions considering diversity, I felt that I needed someone to relate to too! I was done with all the contemporaries being so fucking white.then I came to know of this book. I was so excited I could scream. I even marked the release date for this on my weekly tests and exams calendar and study schedule thing because I was excited. I had only marked Lord of Shadows on that calendar. this says something???????????????????????????????????????????but fuck you @ this book for playing with my emotionsA lot of people started getting ARCS a few months ago. they all loved the book! all blogs and reviewers I follow loved this book! add 10000 points to my excitement, again, pls.I also read the first three chapter excerpt that was released online. it was fine and cute, so I was thinking that the whole book must be like that. such a fool. yeah, that's me :) :)now let's start with what good things this book did (I'm shocked too ppl. you ain't alone)1. it did have some really good discussions about choosing between a good career or your passion and I related to that. the stuff related to Hinduism was A+. even though I'm not hindu. BAHAHAHA. 2. there were some Indian references and I liked them.3. she also refused to wear makeup which was great because I don't do it too. I only do lip gloss, eyeliner or kohl. I get acne breakouts and nosebleeds if I apply something on my face so there :) DAS IST ES!!! THAT IS FUCKING IT! I'm honestly so mad right now.where it went wrong (everywhere wow!!!!!!)1. this is pitched as a rom-com. A ROM-COM! what the hell?? don't ruin chick flicks for me?2. Dimple is so fucking nasty. like so nasty. SUCH A NASTY WOMAN (ahahahahaha) look, stop being so rude. I'm not the politest person either. I'm really rude to my best friends because holy shit I have known them for more than 10 years. so? and it's all jokes and humour between us. but! if I meet you today, I won't be rude to you! I just met you, we both don't have a right to be rude without a reason. it's that simple. be nice to people, and they'll be nice to you. don't expect everyone to do a Rishi Patel on you when you're a Dimple Shah yourself. I didn't understand how Rishi was so nice and sweet to her all the time. IF YOU ARE RUDE TO ME WITHOUT A REASON AND I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG THEN I AM GOING TO SLAP THE SHIT OUT OF YOU AND NOT BE NICE. also I wanted dimples for a long time but now I don't bye. 2. let's take a situation. I just met you, a very cute guy. we've known each other for two! days! don't expect me to fall in love with you. just... don't? it takes me years to decide whether I have a crush on a person or not. this is how it goes-Me- Do I like him? omg yes I do. no, now I think of it, I don't? nah I don't. ok but he's cute? do I like him? put into infinite loop for best results :) :) :)I never get it, okay? I don't understand insta-love, I don't understand how you can fall in love with literally knowing that person for two days and then you start kissing.I don't understand! that's precisely why enemies-to-lovers and best friends-to-lovers and my favourite tropes.it's because you know that person for a long time and then you fall in love!I can't comprehend how you can fall in love in two days. I just can't. forgive me.3. Rishi was adorable for 20 pages and then it all went downhill.4. this book was allllll over the place, and so so so cringy. ewww. 5. I hated the writing. it was third person dual POV and it was so so so weird. thinking about it makes me cringe. 6. I can't forget how Dimple was always hitting Rishi. she was punching him on his chest and he did say to stop and that it hurt. if it were the other way round, everyone would be going mad, but I am surprised how the people who got arcs never noticed it?? I have friends who are guys too! I just only push their shoulder a little bit if I am in such a situation? why would I hurt my friends?? ugh.7. the worst part of the book. when dimple was being super rude to the rich kids. am I supposed to feel bad for her that she doesn't have enough money? I didn't so stop.8. that iced coffee scene. coffee is my soul juice. don't ruin that tooo! 9. where was the app and coding stuff? oh, I forgot, if you'd stop kissing for two seconds, then you might remember why you're at that camp. :) :) Overall thoughts- look, I don't know why the quality of releases has degraded so much this year. @ the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue, please be good.

This book was so so so so so so SO cute. And hilarious. And perfect for the beginning of summer. AHH I NEEDED THIS IN MY LIFE.

Well, that settles it. Dimple and Rishi are my new OTP.
