Can you really fall in love with a partner picked by your parents? This is the question explored in Allison Singh's new YA novel, Rearranged. For the hopelessly romantic Neha Patel, the only thing worse than an arranged marriage is disappointing her parents. So when she's suddenly taken to India to meet her future husband, Neha drags along her best friend Jenny, a jaded child of divorce, to help derail the plan. What they find in India forever rearranges their understanding of the world, love and themselves.
Told from three points of view (Neha, Jenny and Anand, the boy Neha is arranged to marry), Rearranged explores cross-cultural relationships, the diversity of the Indian immigrant experience, the "forgotten" India, and the universal nature of love.
