I Will Blossom Anyway | Disha Bose
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
A romantic coming-of-age story about one woman's inspiring journey to find self-love, reconnect with family, and forge a new path for her future, from the author of the Good Morning America Book Club pick Dirty Laundry Durga is named after the Bengali goddess--pure of heart, filled with goodness. But the goddess has an alter ego--fearless Kali, of fire and crackling with energy. The third of four children born to a middle-class Calcutta family, quiet Durga is surprisingly the first to leave the nest of her loving, overbearing family. She is not as charming as her older sister, Tia, as lighthearted as her brother, Arjun, or as clever as her younger sister, Parul. But when she arrives in Ireland to work at a tech company, she finds that for the first time ever she is free--to have fun, to stay out, to sample everything that life has to offer. Suddenly, Durga can be whoever she wants to be. And she wants it all. But freedom comes at a price. Durga falls in love with handsome, charismatic Jacob, and grows close with his sister, Joy, now Durga's flatmate and best friend. But when Jacob breaks up with Durga, she's unmoored. Will she stay in Ireland with her newfound identity and livelihood, or will she return to India, where she is comfortable? Perhaps neither option is enough. Durga must summon her inner Kali, the brave and fearless warrior, and fight for the life she truly desires. Modern, thought-provoking, and mirthful, I Will Blossom Anyway is a story about what it means to be caught between opposing worlds and the pressures and freedoms of millennial life, and what it really means to be a modern woman today--anywhere.

Don‘t let the cover on this book fool you! This is not a romcom, but a young woman‘s quest for self-discovery.

Durga moves to Ireland from India to pursue a new job and independence from her family. At her new home she finds love, friendship, but she‘s always questioning her choices.

There‘s a (very shocking!) twist in the story and it turns her world upside down. How will she deal with this new perspective?

Loved!

Reached an unexpected twist on this story right before I had to put this book down and do some work. Had to put my Kindle in another room to avoid temptation! 😅 #arc

An ARC in exchange for my review .A very uplifting book that follows the main character through the end of one relationship and into a new relationship. This book demonstrates tremendous personal growth of the main character and is very insightful and inspiring. The book was also very interesting because it is based on Indian culture and traditions. I enjoyed this book immensely!
