Synopsis:<\/strong>

Dimple Shah has a lot of opinions about marriage, but they boil down to this: It\u2019s not for her. Sure, she loves her boyfriend, Rishi, but why does she need to validate that with an institution that has historically never favored the woman? Why go through all that hassle?<\/p>\n

Rishi Patel deeply disagrees. He believes in the power that comes with combining love and tradition, and when the time comes, wants nothing more than to honor those things in a huge celebration with his friends and family. He knows Dimple loves him, but in hearing her rant about how marriage is a \u201cconstruct of hegemonic masculinity\u201d for the millionth time, a small, niggling part of him worries that it\u2019s not the institution of marriage Dimple has a problem with; maybe it\u2019s him.<\/p>\n

The two lovebirds find themselves at a philosophical impasse. Can they find a way to work it out, or does kismet have other plans?<\/p>\nGet the Book:<\/strong> Amazon<\/a>\r\n
