thelovelylibrarylady 's review for:

My Big, Fat Desi Wedding by Prerna Pickett
4.0
funny lighthearted reflective fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

 This collection features short stories about the cultural heritage of South Asian communities and their wedding traditions. The stories themselves fall under the young adult and romance genres. I liked most of the stories (there was just one that felt like it didn’t “fit” - A Very Bloody Kalynaman) and enjoyed the fairy godmother character present in each one. If you are looking for a sweet, easy read that features Desi weddings, this is one that I would recommend that you add to your list!
