The Karma Map by Nisha Sharma
5.0
It’s been a while since I read a YA novel and starting with Nisha Sharma new release was the best choice. The Karma Map was perfect. To me it was a love letter to immigrant children who are born and raised in western societies. I found myself relating to these characters when I was a teen whenever it came down to their culture and western identities and trying to find that balance and in the end try to hide it. Always with comments like you’re not too Indian or even Australian but you’re just a person. For me it took a while to embrace my culture and like Tara I do respect and value some things from my faith and culture there are just some things I cannot agree with.
This book made me miss India. I haven’t been back since I was 11 or 12 years old and I love reading about people visiting the golden temple. It’s one of my favourite places in the world and favourite place to visit in India. Would always go each time will visit. I love how in every book Nisha describes food made me very hungry especially for the maccas (McDonald’s) aloo tikki burger. Really wanted it. This book made me want to visit some of these places maybe for the next time I go back. Shimla has always been on the list.
Now the characters. I love all of them even Sunny at one point
