I don't really have strong feelings on this one. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't say it was great. It feels like one of those books that I read and forget about after. It was quite easy to get through but I think it was more slice of life so it was mundane at quite a few points. It wasn't a unique perspective for me personally so I didnt get that out of it like other people seemed to. It felt familiar and I feel like the themes in the books are ones that come up a lot in South Asian narratives. I think it's a good leisure read though.
