This is a sweet, fat positive tale about a girl who refuses to conform to limitations imposed by her mother and society, and a boy who finally learns to break through the barriers he built around his heart. These two have quite the meet cute that launches them into an exploration of their Indian heritage as well as themselves. It's a fun book, featuring a rare and important voice- a fat girl happy to be herself. However, I found myself cringing frequently at the overwrought sappiness and predictable romantic tropes.
