7 posts | 12 read | 15 to read
Tanuja Desai Hidier's fantastically acclaimed cross-cultural debut comes to PUSH! Dimple Lala doesn't know what to think. Her parents are from India, and she's spent her whole life resisting their traditions. Then suddenly she gets to high school and everything Indian is trendy. To make matters worse, her parents arrange for her to meet a "suitable boy." Of course it doesn't go well -- until Dimple goes to a club and finds him spinning a magical web . Suddenly the suitable boy is suitable because of his sheer unsuitability. Complications ensue. This is a funny, thoughtful story about finding your heart, finding your culture, and finding your place in America.Author BioTanuja Desai Hidier is the critically acclaimed author of the groundbreaking novels Bombay Blues and Born Confused, which was named an ALA Best Book for Young Adults and hailed by Entertainment Weekly and Rolling Stone as one of the best YA novels of all time.

Okay so brain fart moment as I‘m still new and lost in this app. How do I repost something from here. I would like to participate more but I‘m not sure how.

Birdsong28 I usually screenshot it and then post it under the blurb option. If you are having issues with this app and how it works @Chelleo has done some YouTube videos. 😀📚📖 6y

A knock-out coming of age YA about identity, belonging, friendship, and romance. Dimple discovers what her passions are, (re)connects with her culture and family, reimagines an old friendship, & falls in love. Throughout she feels stuck between cultures: too Indian to really be American & too American to really be Indian. I loved the writing. Hidier did a great job making the voice teenagery but also profound & very funny. Great queer inclusions.

Day 3 of #RiotGrams: "This is one version of #HowIRead! In bed with my big south-facing windows. Usually I have about two print books on the go and one audiobook, which I listen to while doing other activities where I wouldn't normally be able to get in reading time like washing dishes or working out. I always bring a book with me whenever I leave the house and can read pretty much anywhere." - Rioter @CaseyTheCanadianLesbrarian
