Thank you @liber_lady for sharing your debut novel with me. As someone in an interracial marriage and an immigrant, I loved this story had both of these elements. Akira was such a great character, with her desire to become her own in architecture school while trying to please her family. I love her personality and her relationship with her family. Sam and Akira became such great friends and I love how open Sam was to the Indian culture. Akira's circle of friends also added a great dimension to the story. I hope to read more books from this debut author.
