Took me a long while to read. I found myself skipping whole pages towards the end.

The characterization was weak. None of the characters had clear, unique voices. I understand the role Meena's sister and parents played in adding weight and dimension to Meena's choices, but it felt so contrived and ultimately unnecessary. The romantic relationship is luke warm and lacks true tension. A lot of their exchanges felt redundant. I had high hopes, but this turned out to be a really slow, generic read.

A fun, light romance. Just what I needed. The audiobook narrator was great too
