My So-Called Bollywood Life was a cute, YA novel. Winnie Mehta, the protagonist, is feeling disconnected from her astrological prophecy after a breakup with her "supposed soulmate". She distracts herself from this disappointment by rewatching Bollywood movies, helping run her school's film club, and surviving her senior year of high school. While I loved the characters in this novel, the storyline was a little too predictable for me! (Sidenote: If you liked this title, check out "Indian Matchmaking" a tv series on Netflix - it further explores how astrology is used for romantic relationships in Indian culture)
