What a premise! Every night, Harit dresses up and pretends to be his dead sister, Swati, to console their blind mother. Then there’s Ranjana, who writes paranormal romance while worrying that her husband is cheating on her. They somehow become friends while the author explores the Indian immigrant experience in America.
I wanted more though: it’s one of those books where I wished the author focused more over here vs. over there. It kinda drags too, but we do get some great payoffs by the end. And I feel a great tenderness towards these characters and the way they find and support each other. Plus the cover!
