The Golden Son by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
4.0
Read my full thoughts on this book and hundreds more over at Read.Write.Repeat.
Becoming a modern adult often means shifting your personal identity away from familial or cultural expectations; Gowda captures that struggle beautifully.
The story did not end how I expected at all and I loved it for that. Gowda was not about delivering into a specific genre. Instead, she wrote a story which rings true to real emotions and experiences. It's easy to imagine these scenarios playing out in the real world. Her writing style is lovely, eloquent but still easy to read. She invests in her characters' growth and development rather than relying on major plot twists to propel them along. The Golden Son is an emotional journey, one well worth taking in my opinion.
