After a challenging freshman year, Rani can't help but feel like she's playing catch up. To that end, she's crafted a packed summer to get back on track: a dream internship, adventures with her hometown best friend, and regular driving lessons so that she can finally lose her passenger princess reputation - even if it means learning from her aggravating family friend (and childhood crush), Kush Khanna. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKush and Rani grew up together, but they couldn't be less alike. Within their close-knit Desi community - a Jane Austen style cast of ridiculous, meddlesome families - Kush is the beloved model son; Rani is more the black sheep. Kush is pre-med; Rani plans to teach elementary school. Kush is cool and collected, bordering on reticent; Rani couldn't keep her mouth shut if her life depended on it. So when their mothers first force the pair to drive together, the arrangement feels like a recipe for disaster. As the lessons progress, however, Rani discovers there's more to the boy she's known her whole life than meets the eye. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Arushi Avachat's \u003ci\u003eRani Deshpande Takes the Wheel\u003c\/i\u003e, Rani must learn to course-correct, no matter how bumpy or windy the road - and even if it includes a detour right into love.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eARUSHI AVACHAT is a writer from the Bay Area.
