Similar to Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians, Diksha Basu's "Destination Wedding" is a sly romantic comedy that discusses not only sequined Bollywood wedding dresses but also the complexity of socioeconomic status in modern India. When a wide range of characters- the frustrated Tina Das, her effortlessly cool divorcee mom and her hunky new American boyfriend, her nerdy divorcee father, midlife crisis best friend Marianne- land for her rich cousin Shefali's fabulous Indian wedding in an elite part of Mumbai, you know drama is just around the corner. To make matters worse, Tina's dad decides it's the perfect time for him to start dating. Along the way, Basu seamlessly weaves in her social critique with her hilarious situations. I found myself laughing out loud more than a few times! Destination Wedding is, like the name implies, a holiday within a book.
