Holly Jolly Diwali is a lovely romance about an East Indian-American, Niki, who gets laid off from her tech job in Seattle. A day or two later, she travels to India for her best friend's wedding during the Indian festival of lights, Diwali. There, she meets a free spirited East Indian drummer, Sam, who resides in London. They have a platonic and innocent fling while participating in wedding festivities. This is a very easy read and a good palate cleanser between more difficult reads. The writer, Sonya Lalli, does a great job of capturing India's delicious food and high energy. I highly recommend this book!
