shelfadmirer 's review for:
Destination Wedding
by Diksha Basu
Let me start by saying, I am not the desired audience for this book. I do not enjoy reading about rich people complaining about everything in general, with a glass of expensive wine, designer clothes, and brain cells devoid of any real understanding of the world. That said, I am reviewing this book from a neutral perspective, just to tell you what to expect.
The story takes place amidst a destination wedding(duh!) and centres around the Das family. As they travel from JFK to Delhi, Tina-the daughter wants to see the real India and decide where she belongs. Her friend Marianne is tired of the monotony and her 'average' relationship with Tom. She seeks the thrill of the chase and what better place to find men than a wedding?
There are multiple angles to the story and the narration is almost always hilarious. Tina's need to stay relevant, her parents and their affairs and everything that goes in the wedding in a rollercoaster ride, one that will keep you on your toes, if that's the kind of story you like. Their quirks, ambitions, flaws and anxieties are all handled maturely throughout the book. What threw me off was the sheer number of characters the author introduced. I don't exactly do well with too many characters, so that's a bummer.
'Destination Wedding' is witty and adventurous, one that will keep you engaged throughout (it's like going to a wedding with all 5 of your kids and not finding any of them after exactly 5 minutes. You gotta keep track).
