Rezension von CarinaThis was a really cute read. Dimple and Rishi were amazing characters. Of course it was very predictable, as is usual with contemporary YA. What most stroked me were the underlying morals. Money doesn't make you likeable or even popular. Thin and pretty does not equal a good person. Tradition doesn't have to be bad. Being true to your feelings and honest to yourself and others. Changing yourself to fit to people who don't like you the way you are is stupid and dishonest and only pains you.<br/>All of this was really strong in this book and I loved it for that.
