Never Meant to Stay by Trisha Das
4.0
It is always good to read books that feature other cultures to educate ourselves. As we are all a diverse group of individuals. I did feel like I was transported to another country while reading this book. Trisha did a lovely job of writing this story so that I felt connected to the characters and had good visual representations of each of them.
Samara is a bit freer in her freedom, whereas Sharav is the dutiful older son, who respects his culture and family. Even if at time, he may feel they are a bit outdated. Where Sharav's siblings were concerned, I did feel for both of them. There is Dhruv, who wants to sing but can't and Diya, who wants to be independent to make her jewelry but is being pressured into marriage.
This is a lovely story about family, healing, choices, and friendship.
