Sweetie is tired of her mother telling her what she can do, who she can date, what she should eat, and what she can wear all because she is not tiny.
Ashish, a former playboy, is tired of his broken heart keeping him from finding joy in anything, even his favorite activity - basketball.
They both need a kickstart to get control of their lives. The perfect solution. Sweetie should date a mom her does not approve of (Ashish). Ashish should finally date a girl that his parents choose (Sweetie). Neither are looking for love, but as the two grow closer, they will have trust each other and their own hearts if they are to find happiness.
This feel-good story is a celebration of being true to yourself, loving yourself the way you are, and trusting others can love you too. I couldn't put this book down as I cheered for both Sweetie and Ashish to believe in themselves and their relationship. I was so angry at Sweetie's mom for making her feel like she was never enough just because of her weight, and I loved watching Sweetie take back her life. The swoon-worthy scenes with Ashish perfectly spiced up the narrative. This story features Rishi's brother, Ashish, from Menon's first novel, When Dimple Met Rishi. This latest book brought me pure joy. If you are looking for a book that will encourage you to love yourself just as you are, this romantic comedy is exactly what you need. Highly, highly recommended!
