A cute, fun story. Would make a great movie in the vein of Step Up or Save the Last Dance but with a Bollywood flair.
I was a little put off by how abusive Radha's mum is and how little that abuse is dealt with. It seems to be treated as secondary to her father's absences in Radha's life. Radha gets counselling from therapists, but none of them appear to delve into her relationship with her mother which seems like a missed opportunity.
The book is cute, but not as moving as it should be.
