This is a lovely story of a woman learning who she wants to be by returning to her family's roots. While this story centers on a Punjabi Sikh FMC, Niki's concerns are universal: what am I passionate about? What do I want out of life? How do I go after those things?

Sam is a delightful MMC with issues of his own, but none fully outweigh the obvious connection the two characters have. I almost wish the story were longer so we could experience more of their relationship alongside them.
