You are right even amongst most south asian ya writers its not race specific so u don't get a feel for the insiders perspective of the culture. Ya is one of the trickiest genres to balance the blossoming of maturity without veering too much into shades of grey adulthood to use an easy cheesy analogy
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVED your book. I hope you write many more.
I think you're a role model for the likes of Aisha Saeed, Jhumpa Lahiri and Nadeem Aslam who can't seem to get away from mud slinging on everything that is South Asian.
If there is ever a time when I can help you with anything please do let me know.
what about white teens we all deserve a chance ilove the book. dont get me wrong. but im brown and friends with white people and happy. my bf whitei love him
My students love that they are able to see themselves in your books! And "When Dimple Met Rishi" is like our new favorite rom-com! Can't wait for "Sweetie"!!
