Maybe this book just wasn't written for someone like me (or maybe it wasn't written for anybody because I've seen a lot of very negative reviews from Indian women about the inaccuracy of the subject matter).
I thought the writing style was pretty in an 'I'm going to be nominated for a book award' kind of way, and I enjoyed that Avni Doshi was willing to be gritty and gross about the realities of her situation. Other than that, I thought this book was just too surface-level to be interesting. For a character driven book, by the end I didn't feel that I really knew the protagonist at all, just a log of all of the events in her life. The plot was also incredibly linear, even though it was mainly told in retrospect, and I think it would have really benefited from some more refined plotting. Toward the end I thought Doshi was going to pull out a Han Kang and etherealise the narrative in a really satisfying way, but instead it felt like she just ran out of things to say.
