This book was better than I could have ever imagined.  An exploration of the way oppression by gender and caste has its hands in everything, and the righteous fury against it. Every character had a distinct voice, and I ADORE Geeta. I would do anything to take tea with her. This book deals with these heavy & complex topics, but manages to be an incredibly funny dark comedy to boot. Don't think I've ever stopped and straight up laughed this much before when reading. Adored this, and Shroff has immediately become an author that I would read ANYTHING from.
