Literally, a pandit predicted Winnie would find the love of her life before her 18th birthday, and Raj meets all of the qualifications. Which is why Winnie is shocked to return from her summer at film camp to find her boyfriend of three years hooking up with Jenny Dickens. Worse, Raj is crowned chair of the student film festival, a spot Winnie was counting on for her film school applications. As a self-proclaimed Bollywood expert, Winnie knows this is not how her perfect ending is scripted.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s Dev, a fellow film geek, and one of the few people Winnie can count on to help her reclaim control of her story. Dev is smart charming, and challenges Winnie to look beyond her horoscope to find someone she\u2019d pick for herself. But does falling for Dev mean giving up on her prophecy, and her chance to live happily ever after? To get her Bollywood-like life on track, Winnie will need a little bit of help from fate, family, and of course, a Bollywood movie star. <\/p>\n<p>Like an expertly choreographed Bollywood dance scene, Nisha Sharma\u2019s off-beat love story dazzles in the lime light.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote><center><span class=\"ubb-buy\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0553523252\/\"

humongous fan of illustrated covers, and I&#8217;ve seen some amazing ones lately in YA, but this is my new favorite. \u00a0Like the story itself, it&#8217;s delightfully over-the-top. \u00a0There&#8217;s a prophecy, lots of Bollywood movies (with an extra helping of Shah Rukh Khan), a musical number (at a school dance, of course), a loving and supportive family, and so many laughs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHe shook his finger at the screen, and the gold ring on it glinted. \u201cI think I understand. Your and your parents\u2019 star charts are the most beautiful I\u2019ve ever read. You\u2019re afraid that if it comes true, you\u2019ll be disappointed because it\u2019s a choice you didn\u2019t make. But wouldn\u2019t you be equally disappointed if it doesn\u2019t come true? Finding a jeevansathi is a gift that many people aren\u2019t fortunate enough to receive.\u201d<br \/>\nJeevansathi. Life partner. Soul mate. She looked over at her dresser and saw the promise of Raj\u2019s silver bracelet. Keep cool, she thought. Keep it cool. He may be super accurate, but he was wrong about this. He was wrong about her.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Winnie&#8217;s family believes in prophecies because one correctly predicted that Winnie&#8217;s parents would find each other. \u00a0Winnie&#8217;s is that she would meet her true love before she turned 18, that his name would start with an &#8220;R,&#8221; and that he&#8217;d give her a silver bracelet. \u00a0She&#8217;s always assumed it would be Raj, a boy who goes to the same New Jersey high school as her. \u00a0Winnie&#8217;s not quite happy with having a prophecy dictate her life, however, and is almost relieved when they break up after he cheats on her over the summer before senior year. \u00a0Problem is, they still have to see each other at film club, where they&#8217;re co-chairs. \u00a0Raj, naturally, realizes too late what he&#8217;s missing, and tries to win her back. \u00a0The problem is, everything he does makes things worse for Winnie. \u00a0When she reconnects with Dev, a fellow film buff, she&#8217;s ready to wash her hands of the prophecy once and for all. \u00a0But are things really that simple?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs much as I love Bollywood damsels in distress, I don\u2019t need saving. I\u2019m my own hero.\u201d She flipped her hair over her shoulder. It was a flirt move and such a clich\u00e9 line, but he\u2019d given her an opening, and any self-respecting film buff would\u2019ve taken it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Winnie is absolutely adorable. \u00a0She knows what she wants out of life &#8211; well, she&#8217;s pretty sure at least &#8211; and worries about the prophecy holding her back. \u00a0I thought Raj was a bit of jerk, loved her best friend Bridget, and thought Dev was absolutely 80s teen movie boyfriend perfect. \u00a0I loved the humor in the book, especially how Winnie kept trying to find a Bollywood movie to help problem-solve every situation she got herself in to. \u00a0While I&#8217;ve seen a few Bollywood films, I&#8217;m not as much of a film buff as Winnie is, and I think each film is explained well enough that someone with only a cursory knowledge of them would be just fine. \u00a0I will say, the dream sequences that involved scenes from movies I&#8217;ve seen were extra hilarious.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the &#8220;ethnic&#8221; YA I read as a kid involved how second-gen kids had to separate their family&#8217;s culture from the person they were outside their home. \u00a0I was so happy this wasn&#8217;t a problem for Winnie! \u00a0Winnie is proud of her heritage, and not afraid to show it. \u00a0As a bonus, Winnie&#8217;s family is amazingly supportive of her &#8211; I think it helps that her dad is also a big Bollywood film fan, even going so far as to have a family film night at almost midnight when Winnie is having a rough time and needs a distraction. \u00a0Winnie&#8217;s nani (her grandma) was also a hoot, and I loved the scenes where they went dress shopping or brought samosas to support her.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPeople love the movies because of the romance, the emotion, and the passion the characters feel. You get sweaty palms, a clenched stomach, a pounding chest. It\u2019s easy to get swept up in the magic as long as you have a flexible suspension of disbelief.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall &#8211; is this completely over the top and predictable, with a cartoonishly evil villain and a sappy and sweet resolution? \u00a0Yes, but so are some of the best Bollywood movies. \u00a0I had an immensely fun time reading this book, and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Sharma writes next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First off, serious heart-eyes for this cover. \u00a0I&#8217;m a humongous fan of illustrated covers, and I&#8217;ve seen
