This book is funny all the way through and halfway through that humor turns dark. Sanjana is so messy but working on herself. Her relationships are all hanging on by a thread. Both her sister and her best friend ask her to find a different place to live so Sanjana goes back to India to find her estranged husband which turns into a single, white (but not white), female type of situation. There's a cult, the mystery of where her husband went, and finally, the confirming of Sanjana's most profound beliefs. I like that this is a "closing doors" kind of book. Sanjana can see in real time how her life would have played out had she stayed with her dumb husband. This books has horror-esque qualities and I could not get enough.
