My main criticism come from some harmful tropes/bigotry: fatphobia is throughout and ableism
Spoilers ahead
I loved seeing the friendship between Geeta and Saloni reunited and made more of a main focus. That and the ever surprising Farah.
Interesting comments about how the micro loans don’t mean that the women are not still beholden to patriarchy.
When Saloni comes back to warn Geeta and she finds that Geeta is back under her ex’s spell. Oof did i feel that as a guttural punch. It is SO HARD to watch someone you care about be drawn in by their abuser.

If "I support women's rights and women's wrongs" could be a book this very well might be it.
