Harry och Ranjit väntade på mej. Väntade på att skjutsa mej till Derby, till ett bröllop. Mitt bröllop. Ett bröllop jag inte hade bett om, som jag inte ville vara med om, med en tjej jag inte kände ...
Om dom bara hade brytt sej om att öppna ögonen så skulle de ha sett mej: sjutton år, arg, upprörd men fast besluten. Fast besluten att göra min grej, att välja min egen väg i livet.
(O)planerat bröllop utspelar sig i Storbritannien och Indien och är en uppfriskande rolig bok om generationsklyftor, kulturkrockar och modet att gå sin egen väg. Boken är inte rakt av självbiografisk, men baseras på författarens erfarenheter.
"Bali Rai skriver med en sådan intensitet och driv att det nästan är omöjligt att lägga boken åt sidan."
Stockholms Fria Tidning
"En spännande och ruskigt angelägen bok."
