"I didn’t expect this rom-com to melt my cold, black heart. Dimple winces every time her mother mentions marriage – she would rather focus on college and her love of coding. Rishi, like Dimple, is a first-generation Indian-American, but he embraces his family’s history and culture. Their parents have arranged for them to meet at an app development competition. It’s a disaster – and that is before they’re paired up to develop a life-saving app. The romance that unfolds is earnest and believable; Dimple and Rishi challenge each other’s beliefs and priorities while falling in love, which makes for a winning book – even for cynics like me."
