I have, not so subtly, expressed my undying love for Sandhya and her books in the past, with my favourite being There’s Something About Sweetie. Of course, you’ve read the title of this blog post… Today I’m talking to the author of desi YA rom-coms, Sandhya Menon 🙂 Today I have someone exciting on the blog, someone I hugely admire and love, whose books I take absolute delight in.
