Destination Wedding by Diksha Basu
4.0

Tina doesn’t know where she belongs. Part of her feels she should be in India, but the other feels she belongs in New York. Is she an American, an Indian, or an American Indian? As she head to her cousins lavish wedding in Delhi, she hopes she will find the answer. Having her mother, her mothers boyfriend, her father, and her bff make thinks slightly more difficult to figure out. Will Tina find where she truly belongs while living it up at her cousins over the top nuptials?

This book was exactly what I needed to avoid a book slump. It was fun, but also serious, and overall just entertaining. I feel like Tina’s struggle is one many young adults face, whether it’s deciding between countries, or just leaving their hometown for somewhere else. I loved Tina’s parents and their commentary throughout the book. It added the extra something that made the book that much better. The only thing I had a problem with was that the poi’s changed fairly often, and it wasn’t at a chapter break which sometimes made it hard to follow. I had to read back and double check every once in a while. In the end, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but it’s nice to know going in so you can be prepared for it. I highly enjoyed this book!
