When Dimple Met Rishi (Dimple and Rishi, #1)

by Sandhya Menon

whom kismet brought to me

Before I wrote When Dimple Met Rishi, I had never written (a) a YA novel or (b) a romantic comedy. You could say I kind of jumped into the deep end all at once and crossed my fingers that I’d swim! What I learned in the course of writing this novel, though, was that YA was a brilliant start for my writing career (perhaps I’m of a more, ah, juvenile mindset than my chronological age would indicate?) and that romantic comedies are like vitamins for the soul.
