Book Summary Growing up today
is pretty hard. Growing up as a minority in a school where no one knows of
your cultural background can be even harder, especially when you don't fully
understand your own culture yourself. Dimple Lala is a teenager growing up in
America, with Indian parents- who have Indian ways. Along with their
strange eating ways, clothing and embarrassing stories of Dimple, they are
trying to
push
the idea of an arranged marriage for their daughter, Dimple. This story is about Dimple, a young girl who starts out hating her culture in
the beginning of the book, because she can not relate to anyone but her
parents about it- which she doesn't want to do. She not only has to deal with
that, but she also is going through what every teen turn young adult goes
through as well. Her tall, blond, beautiful best friend, Gwyn, is hanging out
less and less with her, because Gwyn has a boyfriend now. Plus Dimple
still has a crush on her old boyfriend who dumped her last summer and to top
it off- her parents are trying to set her up with another Indian! Her set up
date turns out to be a total flop, or so she thinks! |
