10 Things I Hate About Pinky by Sandhya Menon is the third book in the Dimple and RIshi series. How much fun does this book sound?! I love that it features Pinky and a fake dating trope. Menon’s books always seem to deliver, and I can’t wait for a summer rom-com.
10 Things I Hate About Pinky, Sandhya Menon
Title: 10 Things I Hate About PinkyAuthor: Sandhya Menon
Publisher: Simon Pulse
Publication Date: June 30, 2020
The delightful follow-up to When Dimple Met Rishi and There’s Something about Sweetiefollows Pinky and Samir as they pretend to date—with disastrous and hilarious results.
Pinky Kumar wears the social justice warrior badge with pride. From raccoon hospitals to persecuted rock stars, no cause is too esoteric for her to champion. But a teeny-tiny part of her also really enjoys making her conservative, buttoned-up corporate lawyer parents cringe.
Samir Jha might have a few . . . quirks remaining from the time he had to take care of his sick mother, like the endless lists he makes in his planner and the way he schedules every minute of every day, but those are good things. They make life predictable and steady.
Pinky loves lazy summers at her parents’ Cape Cod lake house, but after listening to them harangue her about the poor decisions (aka boyfriends) she’s made, she hatches a plan. Get her sorta-friend-sorta-enemy, Samir—who is a total Harvard-bound Mama’s boy—to pose as her perfect boyfriend for the summer. As they bicker their way through lighthouses and butterfly habitats, sparks fly, and they both realize this will be a summer they'll never forget.
