Ani’s Review
This was an incredible book! It brought me back to being a teenager and not understanding my parents, friends, my culture, and my place in the world. I also liked the peek into an unfamiliar but beautiful culture of South Asians! I truly loved the way the author wrote – very teenage-like at the beginning but with more maturity as the characters matured. I never thought DJ-ing would be so hypnotic and poetical. A fun and worthy read for all of us. Get it!
p.s. don’t get fooled by the bad cover on Amazon. It’s a much more enjoyable story than the cover suggests!
