review 1: I won this in a first reads giveaway, and I am glad that I was able to read it. I really really enjoyed the book and would recommend it to anyone. I'm not really familiar with the Indian culture. I live in an area with a large Indian population, and both my neighbors are Indian, and we are friendly, but I don't really know much about their culture. I eat Indian food every once in awhile, but that's about it. This book gave great insight into the Indian culture all while telling an entertaining story. Being Asian myself, I could relate to some of the things in the book. The story itself was good and kept me entertained. I really like the author's style of writing...she writes very beautifully and descriptively and you can picture things as she describes them. Overall, ... morea well-written book that I would recommend and I can't wait to read other books by this author!
review 2: I really liked that the author portrayed the main character as someone who wasn't perfect. She had her weight issues but she was still a successful lawyer. And I liked that this story was *real*. I've read quite a few books about desis by desi authors and the stories are always so melodramatic and filled with angst. I just find them to be depressing a lot of times. I haven't really come across a story about a normal, average desi woman with rather normal, average desi issues until now. The storyline could have still used some polishing but I'll admit that I'm interested in reading more from this author. less
