What a Happy Family by Saumya Dave

4.0

this book was so relatable! Has someone who comes from a first generation, American family myself, it was so refreshing to read a story about the clash between worldview and experiences of immigrant parents, versus first generation American children in various ways. This book was so important because it explored so many themes families can feel not only intergenerationally, but intragenerationally.

I found myself relating to the older sister, Suhani, a lot. Everything from her career to the name of her partner matched up to my experience, and I found myself rooting for her throughout.

Highly recommended for people from ethnic, immigrant families!
