A Match Made in Mehendi
Nandini Bajpai
Summary: Fifteen-year-old Simran "Simi" Sangha comes from a long line of Indian vichole-matchmakers-with a rich history for helping parents find good matches for their grown children. When Simi accidentally sets up her cousin and a soon-to-be lawyer, her family is thrilled that she has the "gift."
But Simi is an artist, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with relationships, helicopter parents, and family drama. That is, until she realizes this might be just the thing to improve her and her best friend Noah's social status. Armed with her family's ancient guide to finding love, Simi starts a matchmaking service-via an app, of course.
But when she helps connect a wallflower of a girl with the star of the boys' soccer team, she turns the high school hierarchy topsy-turvy, soon making herself public enemy number one.
My Review: A Match Made in Mehendi was just what the doctor ordered. I smiled throughout the entire thing and I loved how fun and heartfelt it was. Highly recommend if you love #ownvoices stories, or if you’ve ever watched (the completely brilliant) Netflix original Never Have I Ever (totally different story but gives leaves you with the same happy vibes.)
Recommended age: 12/13+ (mild thematic elements)
