There's Something About Sweetie cover

In this engaging tale, Ashish and Sweetie embark on a journey of self-discovery and romance, ultimately finding unexpected magic between them in There's Something About Sweetie.

In There's Something About Sweetie, the charming companion novel to the bestselling When Dimple Met Rishi, readers are introduced to Ashish Patel and Sweetie Nair. Ashish, still reeling from a painful breakup, finds himself in a bind as his parents insist on setting him up with an Indian-American girl. Under the terms of their whimsical contract, he must engage in various cultural activities, including visits to a Hindu temple and family gatherings, which he dreads. This light-hearted premise sets the stage for Ashish's journey of self-discovery and love.

Sweetie, on the other hand, is a confident, self-proclaimed fat athlete who is determined to defy societal expectations. Tired of her parents' constant reminders about her weight, she embarks on the Sassy Sweetie Project, aiming to prove her worth beyond her appearance. As she trains for a track competition, Sweetie learns to embrace her identity and showcase her talents. Her determination and spirit make her a relatable and inspiring character.

As Ashish and Sweetie navigate the complexities of their respective challenges, they find themselves drawn to each other in unexpected ways. Their dates, initially filled with awkwardness and obligation, gradually blossom into something deeper. There's Something About Sweetie beautifully captures the essence of young love, self-acceptance, and the importance of being true to oneself, making it a delightful read for fans of romantic comedies.
