The best part of this book was that it truly centers women - the joy is in watching them grow and find their way and it's not all due to a man. 

I loved this book so much that I recommended it as a pick for my neighborhood monthly book club. Watching Bindu break away from so many societal restrictions and truly be herself was wonderful. The relationship between Ali and her MIL (rather than her mother) was beautiful. I loved watching Cullie come into her own. Their dating adventures were hilarious. 

Highly recommend this one if you want a book about strong women, the relationships women build to support each other, and of women breaking away from societal norms to find their own way.


A huge thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.

I love these three women. Hopefully, Mindy Kaling will be making a movie or series from this.   I'd definitely watch it.
