I think the author did a really good job of demonstrating all kinds of love, not just romantic love: love of self, love of family, love of friends, love of community.

My one complaint is that there weren’t any detailed scenes of the protagonist meeting her extended family in India. We just hear a summary after she returns to the US. I would have liked that to be more fleshed out.

I so enjoyed this book 😍 it was fun and funny and light and fresh and real and modern and just… a gorgeous piece of work. I loved the food and the culture and the family and the realness of working through your shit and healing. Of being independent yet open to love of being yourself and open to new experiences. For believing people when they show you their real self. Ugh. I loved this.
