Especially in one scene, there’s an annoying invasion of Rishi’s privacy that’s immediately brushed away in the plot. It was a bit creepy at first, and I didn’t enjoy the fact he ends up having to put up a lot with her behaviour. I feel bad for Rishi, he’s trying the most to be on his best behaviour and to get Dimple to fall in love with him. Most of the time I really enjoyed her character, mainly because she’s ambitious and career-motivated, but the amount of girl hate indeed clashed for me, personally, about her character. Dimple is constantly putting down loads of the “mean girls” in this book, which is literally almost all the remaining girls in the book. I wished this book celebrated girls in STEM without throwing girls who don’t go into those subjects under the bus. Dimple literally never fails to mention how different she is to other girls because she’s into STEM subjects and how she’s not like those art girls. Just because the lines “Not like other girls” wasn’t used, doesn’t mean that wasn’t there.

I think I’ve come to the decision that I liked these characters separately, but not together, they’re a damn mess that really doesn’t work well.ĭimple was a very irritating main lead. Like there’s an app contest which later leads to a talent show which leads to even more confusion. The story is supposed to follow their romance, but I wished it was a bit more consistent in its background. Dimple and Rishi both enter this programming course but the lack of them is doing what they came for is odd. If it were just a little bit clearer, it would’ve improved this story so well. I would say I was severely disappointed by When Dimple Met Rishi. Only, Dimple has no idea that she’s being set up while Rishi thinks he’s meeting his future wife. Promised to each other by their parents, Dimple and Rishi finally meet at a programming course.
