Happy Book Birthday to My Big, Fat Desi Wedding by Prerna Pickett

January 16, 2024

My Big, Fat Desi Wedding is out today! Called “Deliciously Desi” by Lillie Vale, author of Beauty and the Besharam, this anthology of linked stories celebrates the diversity of Desi cultures through a universally epic event featuring drama, fashion, food, and one merry, meddling auntie.

A family curse that turns spoken prophecy into truth.

A world where your soulmate’s feelings appear as words on your skin.

A boy who has to decide whether or not to attend his brother’s wedding even though their parents have forbidden it.

A girl who encounters the boy she loved and lost and realizes where her heart truly lies.

These genre-bending stories focus on the magic (and tension) of the biggest family gathering. Both award-winning and debut authors share stories of broken hearts, rekindled flames, unlikely romances, and one particular auntie who loves to meddle.

From jewel-toned kurtas, music and dancing, to the aromas of cardamom and sugar, one thing is for certain: It’s going to be an incredible season.

Out now from Page Street YA and Hachette UK.
