Publisher Description
"A warm, feel good read." —Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author of The Love Hypothesis
“A gorgeous debut." —Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling authors of The Unhoneymooners
In this charming YA debut, a girl who’s determined to prove her star chart wrong ropes her longtime best friend into an experimental relationship—not knowing that he has been in love with her for years.
Is it possible to change your fate?
Madhuri Iyer is doomed. Doomed for her upcoming senior year to be a total failure, according to her astrology-obsessed mother, and doomed to a happily ever after with her first boyfriend, according to her family curse.
Determined to prove the existence of her free will, Madhuri devises an experimental relationship with the one boy she knows she’ll never fall for: her childhood best friend, Arjun Mehta. But Arjun’s feelings for her are a variable she didn’t account for.
As Madhuri starts to fall for her experimental boyfriend, she’ll have to decide if charting her own destiny is worth breaking Arjun’s heart—and her own.
Customer Reviews
A cute coming of age romance
This book follows the story of two Indian American teens named Madhuri and Arjun. Essentially they get their fates read and they can either choose to accept their fate or fight against it. Madhuri chooses to fight against her fate at first, while Arjun accepts it. This book definitely did a great job of demonstrating what it’s like to be a teen, especially one who grew up with Indian culture. Though Madhuri annoyed me at times with her constant fight against fate, I understand where she was coming from. With Arjun, honestly I was just mostly sad for everything he had to go through with his parents and his relationship with Madhuri. But overall he was a great character. This book did some romance, but it was not super heavy on it . It definitely leaned more towards a coming of age story than anything else, which is perfectly fine. If you want a cute, coming-of-age Desi romance, then this book is for you!
