Born Confused by Tanuja Desai Hidier

2.0

This is an interesting coming of age story from a different perspective and with different influences than I've read before. I liked seeing how Dimple slowly learned to be herself and accept herself for who she was as she learned more about the people around her and accepted them as they were. The main plot line was fairly predictable, but I enjoyed how she used her photography to connect, learn, grow, and share throughout the story. In addition, although some of the scenes were wonderfully described in rich detail, other parts just seemed to drag on. I sometimes found myself skimming rapidly ahead.

Due to the length, writing style, and some more mature content, I would consider recommending this book to high school students, but not most middle school students.

* I received an electronic copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review.
