Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan

A CANDID, WITTY PORTRAYAL OF A YOUNG WOMAN NAVIGATING LOVE, FRIENDSHIP, AND IDENTITY IN MODERN URBAN INDIA.

Set in India, this is a "bollywood" coming of age/young adult story. Anshi and her friends are in their mid-twenties and trying to figure out where their lives are going. Some of them are working, some planning weddings and some are considering more school. All of them are in a state of flux, but tyrying to enjoy it. Lots of detail and amusing characters.

New Indian (and Indian American) female writers should get over the idea that writing about their sex lives is exciting and makes for wonderful literature. It doesn't. I would think they would do something constructive with that freedom and come up with some quality work.
