Daisy Jones meets Succession. Also my favorite South Asian representation in light fiction I’ve read recently
This was pretty average. The idea seemed interesting - one of the richest and must successful women in the world is diagnosed w terminal cancer. She announces her death before she dies it hopes of reading the reactions the world has to her passing. What unfolds could’ve been interesting but just really wasn’t. Book was too long and I legit skipped entire pages lol

Couldn’t get into it or care about the characters, am learning to move in rather than push through when a book doesn’t grab me

I couldn’t get emotionally invested but loved the themes of legscy and family
I got really bored around the 200-page mark. I didn't really like the pacing, there would be flashbacks at awkward moments that lasted for so many pages, and I found myself not really caring about the story once the two 'twists' were revealed.

Ok so this book had a lot of boring moments, but it definitely had some that pulled at your heart strings. For example, Dava’s letter to Chaitanya and her whole convo thing with her grandchildren and Sandi . The last chapter kinda made me really sentimental. I did appreciate the book for giving Telugu representation. I don’t know if I would recommend this book to someone because of all the inconsistencies and boring moments, but the heartfelt moments really do hit. This book has a close place in my heart though.
