Welcome to Litsy!

Cute premise. Each chapter begins with a review of a Bollywood movie. But, overall, the plot was a bit lackluster.

Cute!

Very heartfelt middle grade book with a message that it's not a bad thing to have and share emotions, even when they're not happy ones. Sonali's parents are separating & her best friend has found another friend. She's trying to hide her feelings, but wakes up & the world has turned into a Bollywood movie & she has to figure out how to make it go back to normal. It made me laugh several times & had a bittersweet ending. Cont in notes.... #netgalley

"Sonali, let's save our school musical numbers for an appropriate time, like when you're older, in an intercollege dance-off". ??

After the last two books I read, I need something a little bit more light-hearted. This middle grade arc from Netgally sounds like the perfect read.

Publisher's Summary:
In the tradition of Shobhan Bantwal's successful Indian American novels, Sonali Dev's debut captures the colorful spirit and fascinating details of Indian and Bollywood culture - including a lavish wedding - while delivering an emotionally layered and accessible story.

This is a sweet, if predictable, romance. Some of the minor characters didn't thrill me but I liked Mili and Samir a lot which is what matters. I listened to this one and loved the narration. 😊
