Drizzle, Dreams, and Lovestruck Things by Maya Prasad
3.0
Ahh, this book. I'm so conflicted about it. On one hand, it featured a very beautiful and diverse family, with excellent sibling relationships and beautiful prose. On the other hand, there was little-to-no plot, and the writing (mostly the dialogue) felt really juvenile.
This book was split into 4 seasons, with each sister's story featured in the different parts. I liked Spring (Sirisha's story) the most and I honestly think it's because she was super shy and didn't talk a lot, so there wasn't a lot of dialogue lol. The prose was gorgeous though, so I was really conflicted by this book!!
It did take me WAYYY longer to read than most books do. I can normally power through a book like this in 2-5 days but this took TWO WEEKS. I almost DNF'd it, but I had literally just bought it and the cover is gorgeous so I really tried to stick with it. If I had it an audiobook or ebook copy I most like would have DNF'd it. So yeah, lots of mixed feelings. Not sure if I would recommend it unless you're looking for a very simple, cute, feel-good YA with not a lot of plot (but great descriptions!).
