(3) YA Seventeen-year-old Indian-American Dimple Lala feels confused--about her beloved but domineering best friend, about the "nice Indian boy" her parents find for her, and about her college-student cousin's eye-opening opinions about "South Asian identity." Readers undeterred by the detail-laden, heavily descriptive writing style will enjoy this funny and thought-provoking coming-of-age novel.
Reviewer: Jennifer M. Brabander
