āIām head-over-heels for this charming, funny, romantic, life-affirming book.ā āBecky Albertalli, New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and Leah on the Offbeat
The irresistible companion novel to the New York Times bestseller When Dimple Met Rishi, which follows Rishiās brother, Ashish, and a confident, self-proclaimed fat athlete named Sweetie as they both discover what love means to them.
Ashish Patel didnāt know love could be soā¦sucky. After being dumped by his ex-girlfriend, his mojo goes AWOL. Even worse, his parents are annoyingly, smugly confident they could find him a better match. So, in a moment of weakness, Ash challenges them to set him up.
The Patels insist that Ashish date an Indian-American girlāunder contract. Per subclause 1(a), heāll be taking his date on āfunā excursions like visiting the Hindu temple and his eccentric Gita Auntie. Kill him now. How is this ever going to work?
Sweetie Nair is many things: a formidable track athlete who can outrun most people in California, a loyal friend, a shower-singing champion. Oh, and sheās also fat. To Sweetieās traditional parents, this last detail is the kiss of death.
Sweetie loves her parents, but sheās so tired of being told sheās lacking because sheās fat. She decides itās time to kick off the Sassy Sweetie Project, where sheāll show the world (and herself) what sheās really made of.
Ashish and Sweetie both have something to prove. But with each date they realize thereās an unexpected magic growing between them. Can they find their true selves without losing each other?
