This book was a great idea, but it needed a more skilled writer. I feel like it couldn't decide between being domestic or contemporary fiction, chick lit, romance, or mystery. Not that you have to stick to one genre, but this didn't mesh properly. It isn't a terrible book: it's a compulsive read, in part because the protagonist is sympathetic, and for the cast of characters that revolves around her. One might say there are too many characters to truly care about :) and this is true, but that also helps it be a quick read. If you want a light chick-lit-romantic-mystery with a hint of identity crisis and self-actualization of the adrift college drop-out, this book's your guy. I'd check out Jaswal's next book, so...meh. I like South Asian fiction and novels about culture clash.
