This is an enjoyable story with a familiar structure: the intertwined lives and thoughts of three lifelong female friends. The real twist though is that we haven't seen a great deal of literature that describes British South Asian women living in the day-to-day (or American South Asian for that matter). I found it relatable as well as informative to read about their experiences. I did find the novel long-winded and tangential at times, but I also got caught up in several of the dramas at hand. Syal is a witty, feminist writer with a great eye for lampooning the ordinary. Thanks to Lakshmi for mailing it to me!
These are very light romances, but I always enjoy them.
