As Kismet Would Have It by Sandyha Menon


Will Dimple and Rishi find their happily ever after? Find out in this funny, romantic, endlessly charming e-novella sequel to the New York Times bestseller When Dimple Met Rishi!

Dimple Shah has a lot of opinions about marriage, but they boil down to this: It’s not for her. Sure, she loves her boyfriend, Rishi, but why does she need to validate that with an institution that has historically never favored the woman? Why go through all that hassle?

Rishi Patel deeply disagrees. He believes in the power that comes with combining love and tradition, and when the time comes, wants nothing more than to honor those things in a huge celebration with his friends and family. He knows Dimple loves him, but in hearing her rant about how marriage is a “construct of hegemonic masculinity” for the millionth time, a small, niggling part of him worries that it’s not the institution of marriage Dimple has a problem with; maybe it’s him.

The two lovebirds find themselves at a philosophical impasse. Can they find a way to work it out, or does kismet have other plans?

My Review: 5/5 Stars

A short story from the world of When Dimple Met Rishi. So freaking cute! I loved Dimple and Rishi's story, am definitely looking forward to reading There's Something About Sweetie that comes out next month, and this short story determining Dimple and Rishi's future was great! We got a small preview of Ash and Sweetie's story and we got to revisit Dimple and Rishi, who are two characters I really love. This short story was a perfect ending, or really beginning, to their future. How can you make a life changing decision so young in life? Does it have to be now? If your views are so different what hope is there for the future? The answer? And the one that really only matters? Love. Adorable story. Definitely a must read if you love these books and these characters!
