It’s time for another installment of Waiting on Wednesday, where we give you the 411 on the books that we can’t wait to read.
There’s Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon
Anticipated Arrival Date: 5/14/2019
The Patels insist that Ashish date an Indian-American girl—under contract. Per subclause 1(a), he’ll be taking his date on “fun” 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 she’s also fat. To Sweetie’s traditional parents, this last detail is the kiss of death.
Sweetie loves her parents, but she’s so tired of being told she’s lacking because she’s fat. She decides it’s time to kick off the Sassy Sweetie Project, where she’ll show the world (and herself) what she’s really made of.
Ashish and Sweetie both have something to prove. But with each date they realize there’s an unexpected magic growing between them. Can they find their true selves without losing each other?
Why We Can’t Wait
When Dimple Met Rishi remains one of our all-time favorites, and honestly we just can’t get enough of these cute contemporaries with relatable characters and authentic feelings. We are so excited to read Ashish and Sweetie’s story.
