sinamile 's review for:
Embrace the Chicken
by Mahtab Narsimhan
ARC Review: Received for free via Netgalley for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
Cool.
I think Shivani was unnecessarily cruel to her mother, really. There were moment where I literally cringed because it was too much! This one seemed too rushed, I think it would've been better if it was a little longer, where we build up to the point where Shivani learns to live herself and her culture.
Books like this one are important, especially for immigrant children who'd most likely go through the same situation as Shivani, but I think with this one it would've worked so much better if it was longer and explored Shivani's growth more.
This is not to say I didn't like this book, I did and younger reads may enjoy it a lot more. But some of it was cringe worthy because Shivani was just so awful to her mom sometimes, and it was way too quick!
P. S. I'm definitely going to try do the recipes given (I definitely liked that that bit was added in!)
