I am in awe of this book. She writes with such honesty and realness that completely captures you. Although she speaks specifically to the experience of being an Indian American woman (which I of course can not fully understand) I believe that she writes with such rawness that translates to anyone who simply experiences what it means to be a person. She has given words to ideas and emotions I hadn’t even fully realized I had.
