Title:10 things I hate about pinky
Author: Sandhya Menon.
Suitable for people who love: Rom-com, contemporary, young-adult,fake-dating,frenemies
I have heard soo much about Sandhya Menon on booktube.Many people recommended me to try her books if you want to experience some cute summer romance.
I’m soo glad that I finally picked one up and am soo in love with her writing!! This book is basically a companion novel of “When Dimple met Rishi“(which also came as a Netflix adaptation) and “there’s something about sweety”.
In this book our main characters are pinky kumar and Samir jha who are poles apart in nature!!
Samir: He’s the type of person who never breaks a rule,wants his life to be in full control and so lives his life by schedule and routine.He takes care of his mother and also wishes to become a lawyer.
Pinky: She on the other hand is like a rebel butterfly.Cheerful, impulsive and most importantly born to break rules.she is also a social justice activist and lives her life according to her desires.
Pinky visits her parents lake house to spend her Summer vacation,and by fates play Samir’s internship gets cancelled at the same time.
This is where things gets interesting..during a verbal fight with her parents,she cooks up a lie that she has this so called “perfect boyfriend”.
“I don’t think we could be more opposite if we were custom-designed to be.
Pinky knows Samir through a mutual friend decides that he would be the perfect “fake boyfriend” according to her mother who also happens to be a reputed lawyer. She enters into a deal with Samir: he would pretend to be her boyfriend for the summer and in turn gets an internship opportunity.
“But listen, people can change all the time. Maybe not in big, profound ways, but in little, incremental ways that end up changing essential parts of them anyway. It’s like a Rubik’s Cube – you start with one line at a time, and then everything begins to fit together.”
As time goes by,Being together and staring to understand each other sparks fly as they both fall for each other.Apart from these all the side characters were also well potrayed and Sandhya Menon has done justice to the story as a whole.
On the whole,if you are looking for a fluffy, fun-filled romance with some cute bickering here and there..this is the book for you!!
