While this book did have its cute moments, the deep misogyny of Liya’s father, Ravi, and Mukesh was hard to ignore. The sexual assault was also really graphic, and I was SO. ANGRY. at the men in Liya’s life who fundamentally failed her. But all in all, it was really interesting exploring another culture and its traditions.
Graphic: Misogyny
Moderate: Domestic abuse, Sexual assault, Death of parent, Pregnancy, and Sexual harassment
Minor: Sexual content and Fire/Fire injury
