There’s something about the joy on the cover of teen romcom There’s Something About Sweetie by Sandhya Menon! Sweetie Nair is the fastest sprinter in her school district in California and is happily fat. These two identities confuse many, including her traditional Indian parents. When Sweetie meets Ashish Patel, the two hit it off. Sweetie has Ashish reexamining who he finds attractive - he’s so struck by Sweetie’s confidence and openness about being fat. The two begin dating on a series of discovery of their shared Indian heritage, involving both going to the Hindu Temple and celebrating Holi together. 

Sweetie is perfect for fans of Menon’s other hilarious romcom When Dimple Met Rishi, anything by Becky Albertalli and anyone who loves a sweet romantic comedy.
