10 Things I Hate about Pinky (Export) | Sandhya Menon

pick

The third novel in Sandhya Menon's Dimple Met Rishi universe, 10 Things I Hate about Pinky, is another brilliant YA romance. This one focuses on Pinky, the wild daughter of two straight-laced, serious attorneys, and Samir, the conservative, home-schooled son of a widowed mother. The two know each other tangentially, through Ashish (protagonist of There's Something about Sweetie), but neither is the other's biggest fan. ⬇️

UnabridgedPod Pinky throws herself wholeheartedly into everything, passionately picking up cause after cause . . . and perpetually disappointing her mother, who wants her to be more serious and more controlled. Samir has had to bear a great deal of responsibility since his mother had cancer when he was 10, so he is much less willing to take risks. ⬇️ 4y

UnabridgedPod This summer, however, he's been awarded an internship and has traveled from California to NYC, only to discover that the internship can't happen. ⠀

Pinky--on vacation with her parents, her aunt and uncle, and her perfect cousin Dolly--has been blamed (falsely) by her mother for a horrible accident at their vacation home, and she's ready to prove that she's not what her mother thinks. ⬇️ 4y

UnabridgedPod So, on a whim, she invites Samir to stay with her family for the summer, as long as he pretends to be her boyfriend and gains her parents' approval. In return, Samir can earn an internship with her parents.⠀
⠀
The plan, of course, goes astray when Pinky and Samir come to know each other beyond their surface differences. ⬇️ 4y

UnabridgedPod Though the romance is predictable, the course of their relationship isn't--it involves a possum, a butterfly garden, and some over-privileged neighbors.
⠀
This novel is fun, smart, and so, so sweet. Menon is an auto-buy author for me.⠀ 4y
