This week's book:
A Holly Jolly Diwali
By Sonya Lalli

I was so excited about this book when I saw it was listed on one of those super sales on Kindle. I found it on my library app and dove into it right away. All of these Christmas/holiday books have been about two very white people and are a little cookie cutter. I was excited to read a book about a strong Indian woman finding love around the holidays.
I was hoping to learn and experience a new holiday via this book. Turns out the main character doesn't actually know much about Diwali or about her Indian culture. After losing her job, this uptight Type A woman goes to a wedding in India and falls for a musician. She's torn between this new guy that she thinks will have to be a fling, or the guy she has gone on one blind date back home in England.
Sadly, I was a little bored with this book. I don't know if I read too many Christmas romances this month or if it's because I'm deep into my third trimester, but the book was only a meh for me.
