The story was good, if not a bit boring in terms of plot and conflict. Conflicts were solved and resolved a little too easily, and I would have liked for Lakshmi to find herself in a stable romantic relationship and not only the quick fling with Samir. The constant use of Hindi words did bring me out of the story quite frequently because I had to keep looking them up, and I couldn’t find some of them in the dictionary at the back of the book. The was the most annoying part for me.
