I hugely enjoyed reading this book. It was a well balanced mix of entertaining, enlightening, and exciting. I especially enjoyed the commentary on how as a society we expect older women in particular to be non-sexual and also how empowering talking about sex and sexuality is for women in general. It is also clear that it is empowering in many ways, not just in erotic situation.

I love this book. I love anything that gives older women room to be full, sexual human beings. I loved that it was a romance novel and a mystery novel at the same time. I can't really assess whether the representation of violence against women within the Punjabi community was accurate or nuanced, but I felt like the author handled the topic in a way that was not just sensational or a plot device.
