pick#BlameItOn @Hooked_on_books I‘ve been reading a lot of messy family books, and while this was enjoyable, I had trouble connecting to it and rooting for these characters.
Lata and Suresh have divorced. She has a job for the first time and a professor flirting with her. Suresh is on the dating apps and traveling to meet new women. Meanwhile one adult child is having an affair and the other is a new dad who is keeping a big secret from his parents.
"There was no winning as a mother." Isn't that the truth?
pickMembers of the Indian American Ramen family are figuring things out. What happens after you get divorced after thirty-six years? What it's like to be single at nearly 60? Or to have parents who are dating when you're not? This is a book about second chances, the messiness of families, and giving yourself and the people you love lots of grace. A light, easy read albeit bit silly in places. ⭐⭐⭐ #netgalley
pickRecently divorced and nearing 60, Suresh and Lata are both finding their way as single people while their two adult kids struggle along as well. They‘re all pretty comfortable in their careers, but their dating lives are all over the place. I really liked this one! It was nice following some older characters and fun to see the difference between the immigrant parents and their American kids. Plus, it‘s well balanced with some good humor.
pickWhat a lovely little book. I really ran through the gamut on how I felt about every character, at times loving and at times really disliking them. I think that just goes to show how strong the writing is here.
