Buy BERKLEY Well-Behaved Indian Women by Dave, Saumya online on desertcart.ae at best prices. ✓ Fast and free shipping ✓ free returns ✓ cash on delivery available on eligible purchase. Review: Being a 49 year old Indian American, this book really tugged at my heart. Saumya Dave did a wonderful job of creating characters which any woman could relate to. I think we, as women, tend to be people pleasers primarily because we want to be loved. At the end of the day, isn't that what it's all about? I could relate to bits and pieces which belonged to Simran (taking me back to my college years), Nandini (since I'm a mother of 3 children of which 2 are in college), and Nani (my mom, my grandmother, and one day me). I was so sad the closer I got to the end knowing that my journey with these three characters would subside soon. Hoping for a sequel which unites Neil Desai with Simran. Review: Honestly I liked the book. I liked the concepts that were brought to light but still cannot get over the terrible ending. Nothing gets wrapped up. It seems like it was left in the middle of the story. I’m sitting here curious as to what even happens to the characters… I’m hoping there’s some sort of sequel to finish the book off, otherwise it was not worth the read for the terrible ending. I’m not asking for a Hollywood ending here, just one that gives the reader a sense of accomplishment.

*Thanks to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for the complimentary copy for my honest review* It was really interesting getting to read about different cultures and how these three generations of women were so profiled. This wasn't a super engaging book for me even though it had all the premise to be a great read. It had excellent themes around family and the characters were well-developed. This book just honestly wasn't for me but I would recommend it to others.

For a first novel, which this is, (or a tenth novel,) I totally enjoyed to peek into Indian culture, especially from a young woman's perspective..arranged marriages vs dating in today's world. This took place in New Jersey, and briefly in India. Endearing, sophisticated writing where the storyline and characters hold you and keep you captive, in a good way!!
