Phenomenal. Brutal! A memoir of a Millennial Indian-American woman as she reflects on her upbringing in the context of the Indian immigrant community in the US.
I was honestly in awe at the author's ability to be insightful on both the microcosm of her childhood situation (which was tbh brutal - with mental illness tearing at the fabric of everything) and the macrocosm of sociological/political narratives around immigration, Indianness, and American "meritocracy".

Hi are you mad at me? No? Ok good cause in that case let me tell you about this book I just read!
This was super well written first of all. Like Prachi Gupta knows how to write emotional scenes while still staying grounded. I think this overarching narrative was important and articulate and all good things. That said…. It was a bit repetitive. Like that is indeed the cycle of abuse. But at times it felt like we already understood the nature of your relationship with this certain person. I would have liked the author to have gone deeper into different relationships like her ex-fiancé instead of write so much about people the reader knows so deeply. Idk. Maybe that’s just me.

I think this book covered a lot of good topics on the model minority myth and how it can impact a person psyche.
