I agree with your thoughts about Dimple. I am currently a little over half way through, and am seeing some growth and change now in Dimple, which is refreshing. Anyway, it's nice to know someone else enjoyed the book as well!

I still haven't read it but I thik this would be awesome to listen on audiobook!<br /><br />I also think that own voices is awesome! I read a books about Filipinos written by a non-Filipino and also one written by a Filipino, and let me tell you that it is really different. Which is why own voices should be supported not just diverse reads!Zeee @ I Heart Romancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08120545951032621199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-52002430206933383662017-05-22T17:14:46.422-04:002017-05-22T17:14:46.422-04:00Woohoo -- yes for four stars!

I think it makes it so much easier to ship/see/believe the two characters as a couple when that happens. <br /><br />I am also really glad that this is own voices - my BFF is also Indian and can never find herself in books. I think I may just have to buy her a copy for her bday! <br /><br />This might be one I have to buy and jump ahead of the review queue :)Jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996840003306047763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-84332433063238732122017-05-22T12:16:19.430-04:002017-05-22T12:16:19.430-04:00I loved how both Rishi and Dimple struggled with b...I loved how both Rishi and Dimple struggled with being "first generations" and how both of them didn't fit in for various reasons. <br /><br />And I agree, Dimple was surprisingly spunky in the beginning, I felt so bad for Rishi!Amber Elisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671652212967695538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-51906293191246095162017-05-21T16:20:31.958-04:002017-05-21T16:20:31.958-04:00Eee, yay :D So glad you adored this book Alyssa. &...Eee, yay :D So glad you adored this book Alyssa. <3 Yay for relatable characters :) And this one seems so so cute.

Just found out about it a few days ago but after reading your review I'm very excited, especially since I've never come across a South Asian YA author writing about South Asians (I'm sure there are quite a few, I guess I just need to find them). This book sounds really sweet and also super relatable.
