I Read 12 Books This Spring...Here Are the Ones Worth Your Time

But, unfortunately, I hated this book from start to finish. The multiple perspectives, the stream of consciousness writing, and the fragmented narration literally made me feel like I was deciphering code the entire time, yanking me out of the story non-stop.

So, I'm just going to link it down below, but I will say I had such a fun time. It's so informative. I learned so much about Indian culture and what it means to be like in a community that helps one another.

And I don't even think it's necessarily the story that's good, but it's just so unbelievable, so salacious that it will keep your attention from start to finish. So, if you want to be kept guessing and want to be entertained, this is the book for you.

Every relationship felt real, every conversation felt real, every insecurity, every single moment of hesitation felt like a real person's life experience. There were so many times where I honestly felt like I wasn't reading a book. I was just observing someone's life just unfold.

There were sections that I absolutely loved, and then there were a few sections where I just felt like it was taking forever to move on. And it was always about the most minute detail that didn't do anything for the plot.

So overall, it's a nine because it wasn't necessarily fun, but I do think it was a necessary read and I learned so much from it.

It was somehow funny, strange, extremely thought-provoking, and somehow left you more hopeful than depressed. And it's one of those books where I had to keep stopping continuously to underline, highlight, or dog-ear a page because the author would say something and I would just be left there stunned and really just trying to make sense of what I just learned.

I just loved watching how these two women who were in very different stages in their life completely changed the other. And I think that's really where the book worked for me. It's such a great balance of being entertaining, but also having a real message.

It's comforting, atmospheric, and genuinely really sweet. But I think my issue with it was it just wasn't particularly memorable. It was cute, I'm glad I read it, but I'm never going to think about it again.

But, I think for me, my biggest issue was I just didn't enjoy spending any time with any of these characters. Literally, every single one of them were crazy out of their mind.
