tamunra 's review for:
A Bollywood Affair
by Sonali Dev
I'm torn about this book.
I liked the way the relationship developed between Mili and Samir. I liked the exploration of Samir's childhood. I really enjoyed the over-the-top escalation and humor at the end. It lightened some heavy moments.
However, I really didn't like Samir's decisions or behavior toward Mili.
I found the book enjoyable to read overall, but mostly the ending saved it for me. That said, I'd believe this just wasn't the right story for me. I'm looking forward to reading some of the author's other works.

Spoiler
He's selfish and really not very likeable outwardly. I also found Mili a little hard to believe. She's outspoken which is awesome, but she's so conservative that I found it hard to believe that she would end up having sex with Samir so quickly. Perhaps she's not actually so conservative? It's a turnaround that I found difficult to buy. Perhaps I have some mistaken assumptions about how she should be coming from a small village in India.I found the book enjoyable to read overall, but mostly the ending saved it for me.
