What if following your heart means failing your family? Eila Sood leaves India for the U.S., hoping to unite her family and mend fences with her estranged older sister. She soon learns that her sister’s intercultural marriage, which outraged their parents, has hit rock bottom. To help pay the bills, Eila accepts an accounting job at a strip club, working for the fascinating yet infuriating Brett Wright. As their friendship and mutual desire builds, Eila chooses keeping family peace over following her heart. After Brett misinterprets her fears and accuses Eila of prejudice, his ex-girlfriend steps in to offer solace. Eila realizes that whichever choice she makes will rip her life apart. What will Eila choose? Love of her life or a life ruled by tradition? Fall in love with love, in this steamy saga from a best selling romance author.

This book has all the ingredients of a great rom-com. It's funny, witty, charming, and adorable. Highly recommended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 June 2016

Rating Edit: 4.5 stars

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.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves romances

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 28 October 2015

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this ebook from the author (via Blog Tour hosted by The Book Club) in return for my honest review. I never received any monetary compensation for the same.

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!

Love is all what matters whether be it, Wheat or White!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 December 2016

What has love to do with race, caste or skin colour finally it is meant to conquer hearts for the better. Loved every moment of it.
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.
