Variables of Love Kindle Edition

Meena Kapoor knows what life has in store for her. She’s in her senior year at Stanford where she’ll graduate summa cum laude, and then she'll begin her interviews…her marriage interviews. Meena is Indian, and she’s never questioned that she’ll have an arranged marriage like all the generations before her. Not until she meets gorgeous math major Ethan Callahan. Ethan’s sense of humor and free spirit stir feelings in Meena she didn’t know were possible outside of Bollywood movies. It doesn’t hurt that he’s charming and has the uncanny ability to make math sound like poetry, but Meena knows their equation makes no sense in the real world.

Ethan finds himself intrigued by the mysterious, beautiful girl, whose big, brown eyes reflect great pain. His goals are small at first—to make her smile and then to laugh. But he soon wants more, and though Meena is adamant they have no future, he convinces her to share the present. Ethan believes every problem has a solution, but with cultural expectations and family duty among the variables, they will struggle to solve the ultimate equation to find happiness.

If you enjoy new adult, you will absolutely love this multicultural romance. I laughed, I cried, and I could not put the book down. Fans of Colleen Hoover will eat this one up! I nominate Ethan for book boyfriend of 2014.

About the Author

I am a hopeless romantic in a hopelessly pragmatic world. I have a full time life and two busy teenagers, but in the dark of night, I sit by the warm glow of my computer monitor, reading or writing, usually with some tasty Italian...the food that is!
I started imagining stories in my head at a very young age. In fact, I got so good at it that friends asked me to create plots featuring them as the heroine and the object of their affection as the hero. You've heard of fan fiction... this was friend fiction.
I hope you enjoy my stories and always find The Happily Ever After in every endeavor.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Not knowing a word of English, MK Schiller came to America at the age of four from India. Since then, all she’s done is collect words. After receiving the best gift ever from her parents—her very own library card—she began reading everything she could get her greedy hands on. At sixteen, a friend asked her to make up a story featuring the popular bad boy at school. This wasn’t fan fiction…it was friend fiction. From that day on, she’s known she wanted to be a writer. With the goal of making her readers both laugh and cry, MK Schiller has penned more than a dozen books, each one filled with misfit characters overcoming obstacles and finding true love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from MK Schiller ^_^

You know how it such a let down when a book has such a strong start-then just kind of fizzles out toward the end? That's not this book! I found myself enjoying this book more and more as I read.
The writing started off a little stiff. It was mainly during the spoken parts. Maybe I just got into the flow of the story. It starting flowing a lot better by 25-30%. This is first person POV, alternating Meena & Ethan. They're both in their last year at Stanford. They have a meet-cute, and they are also in a class together. Ethan is almost too perfect of a guy. Then he did show his faults- which made him still gorgeous and sweet- but mortal.
Meena is Indian-American (1st generation) from the Boston area. Meena is torn between her parents wishes and her wants/desires/goals/dreams/Ethan (not necessarily in that order!). The first 1/3 or so seems like Meena is too back and forth about what she wants with Ethan. They do discuss this a lot so I won't spoil how they try to deal with that. I like the secondary characters- their friends at school & their parents.
The stronger and stronger story development is what I loved so much. I wanted to yell at my kindle and make it all right with these two. I really like MK Schiller's books. Like my friend seton said, this is one right up there with the Do Over. I loved reading about Meena-who is not like me at all. As different as Meena and Ethan are, they make a great couple. I read a review -that was more like a comment since the reader didn't even get halfway- then dnf'd (sorry, her loss, IMHO). She said that she could not relate to Meena. I couldn't either, and that is why I really got into this terrific love story. I want to read about people that are different from me. There is a lot to consider when love happens between two different cultures. Great ending & has an epilogue ^_^ I'd give this 4.75 stars & recommend this NA book. It takes place over approx 18 months- and there's growth in everyone.

This was definitely one of the best books I have read this year! You will find love, romance, steamy scenes, friendship, family, laughter, intelligent and witty dialogue, and mature attitudes and behaviors. It was just perfect! This book shared the love story of Meena and Ethan. It was written in dual POVs, which really helped in connecting their love and friendship to the readers. They went through a lot of adversities in their relationship and their conflicts were not always between each other, but with themselves. Meena was adamant to go through an arranged marriage even though she loved Ethan. In the end, this book showed us that you can never pick who you fall in love with, even if you are aiming for similar attributes such as ethnicity or religion. I also liked reading about Meena's two other best friends, Raj and Rachael. Her friends provided comic relief in this love story. You will find yourself smiling a lot at Ethan and Meena getting to know one another and ultimately discovering their love and if a HEA is in their future. Do not hesitate to buy this book, get it and read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Diversity AND Romance? Yes, please!!
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2014

When I first posted the release day blitz for Variables of Love, I was super intrigued and immediately one-clicked this baby. The premise was fabulous (I mean, who doesn’t love the idea of forbidden love) and there was DIVERSITY!!!! That alone was enough to make me happy dance all the way to Amazon. (I’m definitely tiring of the trope characters in new adult romance, let me just say.)

Then I started reading, and what I soon discovered was that Variables of Love was not just another love story. It was a story of tragedy and heartbreak, learning to find yourself when your a little broken. And yes, finding love during a time when you promised yourself that you couldn’t…and wouldn’t.

This is Meena and Ethan’s story. Two very different college seniors who just so happen to find each other when things weren’t exactly picturesque in their life. They are the calm for each other, although they have this electric chemistry that burns hot and wild. Unable to help themselves, they fall for each other…and they fall fast. Only they have a timeline on their love, because Meena is of Indian decent and her culture insists on arranged marriages. So what do these two crazy lovebirds do? They put a timeline on their relationship, and oh what a bad idea that is when love is involved.

I won’t be spoilery, it’s not my thing. But I will tell you the angst level in Variables of Love was high. A heartbreaking story that will make you look at your own life. Well, at least I did. :)

I didn’t fully connect with Meena like I wanted to. She had too many sides to her that I just couldn’t follow. One minute she’s a bit of a naive virgin and the next she’s skilled in all ways of life. (Sexual and Emotional) It was a tab bit unbelievable to me, but that really didn’t break away from the empathy I felt for her throughout the length. Because truly, I wasn’t her, or in her shoes.

Ethan was a good character, but his story was a little lacking compared to Meena’s. He didn’t necessarily have much of one, other than loving Meena, and trying to get her to be with him for forever. He was sweet, and definitely a man I enjoyed reading about.

So, the question is, would I recommend Variables of Love to others? Of course, especially to fans of New Adult. Like I said, it’s packed with diverse characters and loaded with angst and heart at the same time. I enjoyed the story, believe me, I just didn’t connect with it one hundred percent. But hey, what’s not for me could be for you! Just remember the subjectivity that is reading :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Love MK Schiller
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2014

There is no book that MK Schiller has written that I do not love and I love her latest book that even after have read it several days ago, it still lingers in my mind. Variables of Love is about Ethan, an american and an Indian girl named Meena. This book is about culture and finding oneself. The moment I read it, I got sucked in. I love how every detail made me think, ponder and love how much I can relate to a lot of things. Ethnic culture comes with a lot of expectations which sometimes is really hard when you are expected to follow and leave your own dreams behind, but I love how natural and easy it was for Ethan and Meena to fall for each other even with the "variables" that was supposed to be in the way. Ethan so sweet and thoughtful, never giving up, this book made me laugh, cry and and I love how they were able to figure things, not just Meena but for her friends as well to find the happiness they all truly deserved.
