This American Woman: A One-In-A-Billion Memoir by Zarna Garg

adventurous funny inspiring lighthearted fast-paced

3.75

 

From the Publisher: “Award-winning comedian Zarna Garg turns her astonishing life story into a hilarious memoir, spilling all the chai on her wild ride from escaping an arranged marriage and homelessness in India to carving her own path in America and launching a dazzling second act in midlife.” 

I usually skip memoirs from stand-up comics, but last fall I discovered the author’s hilarious Instagram Reel and couldn't get enough! A few months later, NetGalley offered me an advanced copy of Zarna’s book—how could I resist? Her storytelling feels like a chat between friends. Despite her social media glam, she reveals real struggles with wit that’ll keep you laughing. Whether you're familiar with her or not, this book is sure to brighten your day! 

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine|Ballantine Books for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.
