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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arushi Avachat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wednesday Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.36h x 5.44w x 1.27d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250895912","brand":"Wednesday Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46717535682697,"sku":"9781250895912","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_861eaa49-88f2-4b3d-afd7-09f315cf850f.jpg?v=1778615877","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/rani-deshpande-takes-the-wheel-9781250895912","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
