Eshayat

4.5

I picked this up with 0 expectations, just wanted to read something that was set closer to home and oh man I was so pleasantly surprised.

Man, everything about this book was absolute perfection - the dark humor, the characters, the cat. The ending had me in tears. Fuck to be loved the way Ove loved Sonja and the neighbors loved Ove.

The book somehow captured intertwining and complicated indian family dynamics over the years so well in 100 pages.

I'm not a big fan of open ended endings, it feels a bit lazy to me. I have enough uncertainty in life I don't want it in the books I read hahaha. Despite that, the style of writing still kept me hooked till the very end.

Chaat masala didn't solve my problems
