I was so excited to read this as it came highly recommended and would give me a chance to learn more about Desi culture. But ..: something about the writing style did not click. It felt very pop culture, millennial, online jokes and references but none of it was organic. 

I also didn’t warm to any of the characters (although maybe I would have if I’d read further). However, the real decision maker was other reviews. I looked them up to see if it was worth persevering (nope!). The majority of what I found were people commenting on the fact the main guy refers to his penis as Charlie … and the quotes. Just no thank you!
