Before I get into the review, a little background - I picked this book up right after reading (and re-reading) The Raven Cycle Series, and when, oddly enough, I was drifting into a reading slump. I say oddly enough, because I had loved the series, and it should have energized me to read more, but it didn't. I was in a strange lethargy.
And my go-to genre in such situations is - romance. A simple, light-hearted, fun, romantic comedy always picks me back up, and gets me going. And this book - Only Wheat, Not White (OWNW), fit the bill perfectly.
OWNW follows the life of Eila Sood, a 20 something, who takes up a project/job in USA to spend time (and mend fences) with her estranged elder sister - Sheela (who had a falling out with her family due to her inter-racial marriage 7 years back).
While coming to US, the one advice/warning Eila’s mother chose to give her was - Only Wheat, Not White. And nope, this wasn't nutritional, but matrimonial advice/warning!
The plot then revolves around Eila's life, as she lands in the country, starts a new job, meets different people, makes friends, and (eventually) falls in love.
This book has all the ingredients of a great rom-com. It is funny, witty, charming, and adorable. It’s also pretty fast paced with many twists and turns, and not a single boring moment.
While reading this book, I felt like I was watching this story unfold on the screen. That itself says a lot about the writing, characterization, and the author's story-telling ability.
A perfect light read for the summer. Highly recommended to fans of this genre.

Eila Sood is middle daughter of three from the Soods in India. She goes to New York, USA to work with OIS Solutions for six months. She plans to stay with her estranged sister Sheela who’s married to an American. Sheela has two adorable sons – Aryan and Adam. Incidentally, her husband’s name is Steve Jobs. That made me smile.
The Sood family had cut off ties with their eldest daughter since she had married a firang. Now you know why the title is what it is.
Warning: Don’t read further if you haven’t read the book. Spoilers galore!
Right from the moment her plane lands in New York, Eila keeps bumping – most times literally – into a blue-eyed ogre. Halfway into the book, we find out that he’s Brett Wright. Despite her mother’s warning to choose “only wheat not white”, Eila finds herself attracted to this restaurateur. Tough times ahead!

Everytime I read Varsha Dixit I am in awe how she blends the humour so realistically to the story telling. It’s not just the story but also the humour and fun which adds the charm to the book.
The very concept of accepting a White into the very conservative Indian family, a husband and wife struggling to live with a burden of the same, one of them struggling hard to find the roots; she had to leave behind to be with her love… just not the right way and one poor lady trying hard to keep this Mr White out of her heart because he is not Wheat. Also Mr White is struggling hard to understand the very concept.
This romance with a blend of humour holds you all the way along.
