"There's Something About Sweetie" by Sandhya Menon follows the story of Sweetie Nair, a plus-sized Indian girl who is tired of living under the weight of societal expectations regarding her appearance. When her traditional Indian parents decide to arrange a marriage for her, Sweetie takes a stand by challenging stereotypes. Enter Ashish Patel, who himself is recovering from a breakup and is looking for a fresh start. As the two navigate their feelings and fight against the narrow perceptions of romance and body image, they discover the power of love, friendship, and self-acceptance in a heartwarming and humorous way.
