Balli Kaur Jaswal has written a romance, a mystery, some social commentary, and a feminist novel, all contained in less than three hundred pages! And oh, yes, there are also some short erotic stories.

The novel takes place in London, where Nikki, the protagonist, must often navigate the divide between two cultures as she decides the shape of her own future and choices. There are some sad and serious events that unfold in this story, but there is also some humor.

I thought the characters were well developed and believable, and enjoyed this very much. I'll definitely keep an eye on this author!
