A review by claragweny
Love, Chai, and Other Four-Letter Words by Annika Sharma

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.
Published in 2021 with several references to the pandemic being “over” in the first 30 minutes made me want to scream.

Reading this in 2024 and remembering how there were literal freezer trucks to hold dead bodies in 2020-2021 because hospital morgues were overflowing makes me feel physically ill.

Maybe don’t mention COVID or the pandemic AT ALL if you’re not going to write about it with the delicacy and nuance it deserves. Real people died. Real people are dying. Don’t be so fucking callous.
