I just finished this book last weekend. When I picked it up, I flied through it in the beginning, I was hooked, but then it completely fizzled for me. It was long and drawn out and could have ended in 80 pages

A cute quick read that would qualify was "chick lit". The storylines were interwoven and I cheered for Bogie even though she had/has questionable choices. I was intrigued by the book because I have always wanted to be travel writer. It was quick read that had no "real" dialogue, but a series of emails going back and forth between the heroine and all of the other characters. It was amusing to read.

I completely and throughly enjoyed this book. I loved the multiple story lines and rooted for Gogol througout the book. I empathized with his struggle and have gained more understanding into Indian culture.
I can't imagine having a prearranged marriage or how it feels to try and find myself in a foreign land. I appreciated the stories and couldn't put it down.
