4.0 out of 5 starsPepper Mint Romance
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 4 September 2016
A spicy romance, blue ogre lover, a 20-something woman traipse awkwardly and cannot control her mouth and a sister whose life is in tatters. Only Wheat Not White where author Varsha Dixit not only cook but whips a storm in the US of A, the land of limitless possibility.

It’s a golden rule, ‘Only Wheat Not White’ in Eila’s world but everything she plans for, goes topsy-turvy. It’s a tale of complicated lives, where Eila not only finds friendship in the unlikeliest place but, she becomes a match fixer for the White Babe and the Wheat dude at work. Yes, our Eila cannot keep her mouth shut for long. She is mugged, saved by the American brother-in-law and is kissed out of the blue by the ogre. The book has family drama, love, friendship, sensuality and an anti-climax.

What is romance without humor and one-liners? Drab and boorish, you’ll argue and rightly so! Varsha Dixit effortless humor flits in the narration with utmost ease which breaks the monotony but never the flow. Varsha takes you in this world where you can pop in and out for a break through the funniest lines but you can’t stay away for long.

Or, this one which is one of my favorite that makes humor flawless and effortless in execution:

“Then, she stopped and turned around, ‘Food for thought! What’s the similarity between getting laid and laid off!” You need intelligence to steer this line to perfection.

In a nutshell, Only Wheat Not White has everything that can be beautifully adapted on the silver screen where the whole Indian family chip in at the restaurant owned by Bret and it’s narrated with an Indian feel how a community can pull the extraordinary to save the day. Mrs. Das is one such character, who mutters religious verses that echo our own Indian raga to attain Moksha. The book may have been set in US with White not Grey Love but the soul is Indian.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Romance to Read
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 15 May 2019

The struggle faced by Eila and Sheela is real and relatable. That people change is understandable. The novel is written nicely and keeps the reader interested. The romance that brews between Eila and Mr. Wright is also nicely written and conveyed and feels good. I would have liked more moments between them where they get to know each other better. Otherwise it's a good read.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 22 July 2020
The book started of with a really interesting hint of the hero and the family twist was something which we can really imagine happening I loved the book but was hoping to see more of the Indian family drama with this new couple awaited for a sequel!

5.0 out of 5 stars White or wheat why does it matter
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 22 October 2019
No words to describe the book. It's so true to reality and it make you as one of its character. Couldn't put the book down as it makes ones think abt what they are taught to believe and follow it to the letter....the author is just an emotional wrecking writer....

5.0 out of 5 stars Love is all what matters whether be it, Wheat or White!
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 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.

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 31 August 2018
The story telling is so nice..Now i am in love with Brett. 😛. Please keep writing and make us fall in love with your characters... I have one question though.. Are you planning for a sequel for "xcess baggage". You have left the ending like being hanged on the cliff.
Thanks,
A vivid reader and a fan of your writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A definite must-read!
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 25 February 2016
There isn’t much about this book that you won’t like, except for some typos here and there. The story is paced well and sprinkled with a good amount of humor. I read this one while traveling; after I while I gave up thinking that I was surrounded by a sea of people and laughed my heart out. Not a chance that you won’t fall in love with the characters!
The absolute favorite, of course, is Mr. Brett Wright, hands-down irresistible. But I loved every character of this book. The portrayal, I mean. However, Cate’s character is left open-ended in the end, which I think was a risk, a good one though. Such open-to-interpretation ends always add an element of mystery to the story, but I think here a shadow of incompleteness looms around.
I picked up this book because I fell in love with the cover the minute I saw it and the title is oh so intriguing. But what bowled me over was the quirky dialogues and the pace of the story. If you are a romance buff, this is one book that you would definitely love to read!
