Of Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon

• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

2.5

I'll be honest, it gets an extra half star because the audiobook readers were incredibly talented, and handled every accent thrown their way amazingly. The story itself though was not compelling to me. Mild spoilers -

Jaya dragged on her revenge plans (which were pretty strange to begin with) for far longer than was reasonable, and Grey was a fairly flat character consisting mainly of angst.

Overall, there were too many elements of the story/pieces of dialogue (internal and external) that overthrew my submersion and belief in the story and characters. I did however find the side plots and characters much more interesting. I don't regret reading it, but I definitely don't want to read it again.
