A Goodreads user asked Sandhya Menon:

Hi Sandhya! I absolutely love your books, and as an Indian-American teenager myself, I can absolutely relate to them. Though I do have a question: What languages, exactly, do your characters speak? I understand that Dimple, Rishi, and Ashish speak Hindi, though I’m a little confused about the others. It may be just me but I hear words from other Indian languages sprinkled into the dialogue.

Sandhya Menon So glad you can relate! :) Sweetie and her family speak Malayalam and Jaya and her family speak Kannada.
