Sister of the Bollywood Bride by Nandini Bajpai is about a young girl named Mini who’s in charge of planning her sister Vinnie’s wedding. With her dad focusing on his new start-up company and her sister is preoccupied with her medical residency, Mini is the only one available to plan it. Their mom died and even though Mini knows more about computers than weddings, she knows their mom would’ve wanted Vinnie to have a big Bollywood wedding. Unfortunately, Mini only has two months to plan this wedding and doesn’t want anything to distract her, especially not Vir Mirchandani. When a hurricane is headed for Boston, will Mini be able to step up for her sister’s sake?
Sister of the Bollywood Bride is perfect for fans of Sandhya Menon’s When Dimple Met Rishi. Content warning: This book talks about dealing with grief and the loss of a loved one.
Final thoughts: This book is adorable and ideal for Sandhya Menon fans! I loved reading about Mimi, Mimi’s sister, and Vir! The characters are loveable and it’s refreshing to see an Indian teen embrace their culture. As a South Asian, it meant a lot to see a book with desi characters and a close-knit family!
