- Long read (10+ hours)
- I hate the way the story wraps up with an unrealistic bow on top; how did Ranjana go from being "just good" to a bestselling author? The pacing was a little too slow in some parts.
- I've never felt so represented. I loved the inclusion of Hindi and Indian culture, food, clothes, and more. I love when very different stories intersect, and this book does it well. The perspectives are so candid and I love how nontraditional love is represented (gay, lesbian, and older couples). The character development is amazing.
