Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier

4.0

I really liked this book! It started to drag a bit in the middle, but overall it was engaging and fairly quick. I found the writing delightful (fabulous decorative in that way that I imagine India in my head), but what I really enjoyed was the insight it gives on first/second generation Indian Americans. At it's core, this book is the classic coming of age story, but it's so modern. There's drinking and weed smoking (hilarious!) and love and sex and parents and lesbians and dancing and photography and on and on. I recommend this book for anyone, not just teenagers. It's a great story about learning who you are and who your parents are.
