This was such a quick read, and I can't even imagine how beautiful the writing must have been in the original if the translation was able to take me through what felt like an emotional roller coaster at times. There are four parts in this book alternating between mother and daughter. The down side to the book is that the ending felt like a cliffhanger and I wanted to throw the book across the room. I'm sure from a literary or artistic view, it's beautifully done. From a personal view, I'm so mad lol.

slow-paced

This was interesting, but I still left it feeling a little confused. It felt like it could have been more developed since it was so short. Thank you to Goodreads for the ARC.

I was skeptical about this at first but it’s actually quite a quietly feminist tale wrapped in a beautifully desi cultural air.

This was a pretty entertaining read with vivid characters. Nothing I'll probably remember in a year, but since it was short I don't regret spending the time on it. It helped pass the time quickly on a road trip.
