I don't understand the point of story. So what if people want to buy clothes and stuff anytime throughout a year instead of just festivals? She criticizes her friends for going away on holidays during Diwali to escape the holiday stress and then complains about people staying indoors. What is she trying to convey? #goodolddays ? All the short stories that I've read in this book seem very preachy to me. The author seems to thinks she's always right

ju.ca.no That sounds annoying! 4y
olivia.ferz @ju.ca.no It is. Though I'm only on the 7th story and there's about 43 more to go, so hopefully it'll become better 4y
ju.ca.no @olivia.ferz fingers crossed!!🙏🏼 4y
