I refuse to rate anything that mentions Harry Potter a five star read, and at times it felt like it was trying to make me feel for the racist white girl, but I do appreciate the focus on familial and sisterly relationships, which I thought were developed beautifully!

"But our parents have the same philosophy. They shifted us halfway across the world, risking our culture, putting us in the middle of two nations and giving us an identity crisis, all because they believe it gives us more opportunities. It's strange to think about how much our parents really sacrifice for us. But then, I'm stuck on the fact that Ammu and Abbu can leave their entire worlds behind, yet they can't pause for a moment and consider who I am. How can they sacrifice everything for me and Priti, but they can't sacrifice their closed view of sexuality to accept me as I am."
