As Kismet Would Have It

As Kismet Would Have It

Sandhya Menon2019
Will Dimple and Rishi find their happily ever after? Find out in this funny, romantic, endlessly charming enovella companion 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?

Should I have spent time this afternoon reading a short story? No. But I'm glad I did! I missed Rishi and Dimple so much! It's adorable, like their first outing and I hope to see more of them soon!

This short story was so cute!!! I had a feeling I knew where it was going, but even I was surprised by the end. I loved the characters, even though I have not read the main book yet, I thought the characters were described enough that I cared about them. I loved the story so much, as I feel it's a story that young couples can relate to. The writing was fantastic, and I love it. I would recommend this for anyone wanting a cute RomCom.

** spoiler alert ** This was cute enough and I loved revisiting the characters. I’m also usually a sucker for proposals but something about the one in this book didn’t sit right with me. I was already apprehensive about all the marriage discussion at the age of 19 and found Rishi pushing it a little too much; and then when the proposal happened, it felt like Dimple had to compromise on her convictions to keep their relationship. So, I don’t think I’m completely happy with this short story.

This was such a fun novella. It definetly isn't neccecary, in my opinion, to read but it was a whole lot of fun. I loved seeing what Dimple and Rishi were up to. I also just really liked the conflict in this novella and how it was discussed. I also loved being introduced to Sweetie and I can't wait to read the second book now because she just seems so sweet (no pun intented) and I would love to read from her perspective. So yeah, even though it isn't nececary I would recommend it if you liked When Dimple mey Rishi as it was fun.
