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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Typically Typical
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 30 August 2019
I don't know what to say about this pathetic attempt at writing an english novel. The author has used all kinds of stereo-typical situations picked up from numerous similar disasters. Not even a single emotion is genuine, not a single situation unpredictable - right from the point of hating-at-first-sight-but-fall-for-him-later to kid-puking-on-horrified-inexperienced-mausi!!! 🙄 There is not a single moment where she has written anything we have not read before. I read till page 15, stopped to gag, picked it up a day later to give it one try but couldn't go beyond 2 or 3 pages.

Please don't write if you don't have any single original thought or phrase to share!
