I wasn’t sure how I felt about the first part of the book. It was a little slow but also reflective. Geeta isolated herself and it wasn’t until the group started uniting that it became more interesting. Hard to review without spoilers but it had lots of twists and many parts of humor even though it touched on some very heavy topics that impact India.
