coraotf 's review for:

A Bollywood Affair by Sonali Dev
5.0

4.5 stars
I love Bollywood movies and this book read like one (without the musical numbers, so even better). I love Mili. She is so great. She's the friend/daughter/sister you always wished you had. She is wicked naive, but she's all around awesomeness otherwise. I liked Samir, but I really wish he would have been honest from the beginning. I did like that the reasons he was lying were explained, even if the explanations were pretty crappy sometimes. The best part was seeing their interactions with other characters. Sometimes, I read books and I feel like the two main characters are supposed to be some kind of islands unto themselves and that just isn't how life works. Usually, there are family members and friends who you interact with and who greatly influence your behavior and attitudes. This concept was very well addressed in A Bollywood Affair.

Also, I killed my squishy Spiderman in the reading of this novel. RIP
