I went through the other reviews and I agree lol, nothing much happens in this book. The start is compelling and actionable, but as the book progresses, you see less action and more reflection. I don't mind such a combo, but it was slightly jarring to read all that without tracking the action.
The writing though, is such a treat, such a delight! i love how Indrapamit ji captured the naivety, slow and learnful living of people in their twenties. It was refreshing, and the lush descriptions indulge all your senses in the story. It's really, really, very nice, very dream like. The cover of the book helps a lot.
I'm just realising, my view of New York is always that of ads and Times Square and others, mostly visuals, yk. I've heard some stuff about the living in New York and its exceptional food, but the sensory experience? What lacks in pictures is somehow overflowing in this book. This book gives you that truly. I'm so amazed, it's the perfect length.
I'd say I'd love if the story line, to whatever extent it exists, was a little more clearer. But then I also don't wish for that because it's the story's snappy-ness and the kind of imagery in paints in such length is enough to hold a small stretch of time (quite literally!!), is what makes this so, so endearing to me.
Thank you for writing this book, Das ji!
