I got this from the Amazon First Reads promotion and was honestly expecting a lighthearted rom-com. This book was not that. It was much better: it delved into important issues like assimilation into American culture, coming out stories, and parental expectations. Mira’s development is heartwarming and by the end of the book she’s transformed into someone I’d want in my life (I found her a little annoying at the start). The book is beautifully written and made me tear up towards the end. I would certainly recommend it to others (I finished it in less than a day) and hope to read more of Dev’s work!

It took me a little while to like Mira. I knew she wanted to make other people feel comfortable, but it seemed like she was trying too hard. There is backstory revealed further in the book that makes her choices more understandable.

I just finished "There Is Something About Mira" by Sonali Dev, and I’m still thinking about it! This story revolves around a mystery that had me hooked from the start finding out who the ring belonged to. It’s not just any ring; it’s tied to Mira’s journey of self-discovery and the idea of forbidden love.

As Mira goes on this quest to uncover the ring's origins, she learns so much about herself along the way. The importance of the ring symbolizes the weight of family expectations and the struggle to find one's own identity. It really made me reflect on how we often let others influence our decisions, and Mira’s evolution is both inspiring and relatable.

Sonali Dev has a knack for creating characters that feel so real, and I found myself cheering for Mira as she navigates her complicated feelings and relationships. This isn’t just a love story; it’s a heartfelt exploration of finding out who you are and what you truly want in life.

If you’re in the mood for a book that combines mystery, love, and self-discovery, "There Is Something About Mira" is definitely worth picking up! I really enjoyed it, and I think you will too!
