Indian American Tina Das has never felt truly comfortable as an American, despite parents that always encouraged her to embrace American culture. So perhaps when she travels to Dehli for her cousin's lavish wedding, she'll feel a bit more comfortable. Nope. Turns out, she doesn't fit in there either. As she finds herself at a crossroads both personally and professionally (she's a producer of Indian American content for a streaming video service), Tina's floundering alongside her divorced parents who are both trying to figure out the later-in-life dating thing and her best friend Marianne, who also doesn't seem to know what's going on in her life.
This book is an interesting examination of imposter syndrome in its many forms, and Basu does a great job of balancing everything while giving everyone the agency to change their own lives. And props for creating the fantastically hilarious character of wedding planner Bubbles. She's a hoot!
