Book Summary:
Simi is an artist and likes to experiment with Mehendi - a reddish henna dye often used for body painting, while her older brother loves robotics and technology. Her family has a history of professional match-making, and they expect Simi to follow that path. With her brother's coding expertise and her friend's enthusiasm, Simi designs a secret matchmaking app for her high school classmates. Will she get in trouble when people find out they're the ones behind the app? Will the app even work correctly? Will Simi find a way to be the matchmaker her family wants her to become, or will everything end in disaster? Book Review: This is a light romance with a few obstacles for the protagonist. It's a quick read, and those looking for a jealous mean girl, strong family connections, and a pretty straightforward resolution will enjoy this story. "Those matching apps don't work," Mom says. "Much better to talk to people face-to-face to get a sense of who they are before matching them. How can a program do that?"
