this was darker than i expected, but i loved all of the references i recognized and all of the exploration of womanhood, caste, and the ways that geeta examined her place within her society more fully thru the book. really enjoyed the humor interspersed throughout, and i found saloni/preity/priya/farah/geeta as a crew So funny when they were together. i honestly wish i had been able to read this in one sitting — i think it would have added to my experience
