Star-Touched Stories by Roshani Chokshi
5.0
I loved the three stories and how they connect like stars in the sky- you think you see a constellation, but you aren’t always sure until it comes together. Chokshi writes beautifully - love her imagery and how she poetically creates sentences that meld together. Her imagination, characterization, and depth of themes are beautifully created. I want a Night Bazaar created somewhere- what a fantastical place to visit!

💫”They lived. Mostly happily. Sometimes furiously. But always gratefully. It is, I think, the best way to spend existence.”
