Destination Wedding by Diksha Basu
2.0

I wanted to like this book. I read The Windfall and enjoyed it, and I thought this would be the same kind of funny, slightly quirky, look at modern India / Indian-Americans' relationship with their culture. Instead, it was oddly disjointed. I would have loved more of Tina's dad's plotline, but I just never grew to like (or really care about) Tina and her motivations. I don't have to always like the protagonist if I can understand their character and see something dynamic (not always growth, but a change) and she just fell flat for me. She had two maybe love interests with some history to both which could have been so juicy but... it was mostly confusing. Finished it but this book just wasn't for me.
