As Kismet Would Have It (Dimpleverse, #1.5)

by Sandhya Menon

Will Dimple and Rishi find their happily ever after? Find out in this funny, romantic, endlessly charming enovella companion to the New York Times bestseller When Dimple Met Rishi!

Dimple Shah has a lot of opinions about marriage, but they boil down to this: It’s 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?

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 “construct of hegemonic masculinity” for the millionth time, a small, niggling part of him worries that it’s not the institution of marriage Dimple has a problem with; maybe it’s him.

The two lovebirds find themselves at a philosophical impasse. Can they find a way to work it out, or does kismet have other plans?

4.5/5. I loved this short story continuing Dimple and Rishi's tale. Too cute and still filled with all their personality and heart!

This is a must read for all fans of When Dimple Met Rishi! It's heartwarming and a nice break to read about them confirming their love and just being *them*. Very happy & cute & will for sure make you want to read Something About Sweetie!

It was a treat to get to spend time with Dimple, Rishi, and their families again. It was good to see being in love hadn't made Dimple soft, and that Rishi still had stars in his eyes. We also got a little peek at Sweetie, who I can't wait to get to know better. And, the ending!!! So sweet, and it absolutely delivered those WDMR feels that I love so much.

Short and sweet and a great read for anyone, who loved When Dimple Met Rishi.

This was such an adorable novella. It was great to check back in with Dimple and Rishi. This also features Sweetie who is the protagonist of the companion novel. And as much as As Kismet Would Have It should be read after reading both When Dimple and Rishi and There's Something About Sweetie, it does focus primarily on Dimple and Rishi rather than Sweetie and Ashish. (I read it before reading There's Something About Sweetie and found there to be minor spoilers for the book.)
