Fifteen-year-old Simran "Simi" Sangha comes from a long line of Indian vichole--matchmakers--with a rich history for helping parents find good matches for their grown children. When Simi accidentally sets up her cousin and a wealthy local businessman, her family is thrilled that she has the "gift."
But Simi is an artist, and she doesn't want to have anything to do with relationships, helicopter parents, and family drama. That is, until she realizes this might just be the thing to get her and her best friend Noah to finally be popular. Armed with her family's ancient guide to finding love, Simi starts a matchmaking service--via an app, of course.
But when she helps connect a wallflower of a girl with the star of the boy's soccer team, she turns the high school hierarchy topsy-turvy, soon making herself public enemy number one.
