American Betiya by Anuradha D. Rajurkar

Holy crap, y’all.
“Love doesn’t belittle. It’s not supposed to make you feel broken, empty, addicted, and self-conscious. Or question your sense of self. We can’t romanticize that kind of love that essentially just hurts…”
MY HEART.
This ripped me open. It’s a beautiful look at South/East Asian culture and white male privilege tied with first loves and not healthy relationships ships. Rani finds herself and this book is a breathtaking tale of friendship and family and culture and UGH. SO GOOD.
