There were moments of humor and love here for sure. There are some pacing issues, though, and some of these characters were really hard to root for. I honestly would have loved this if it was just Lata's story; as a character, she felt the most whole and complex. Having the perspective rotate between the four family members made them all feel underdeveloped, but this wasn't bad overall.
