Thanks to @Instabooktours for arranging the tour and @hotkeybooks for inviting me to join. 

In Desi Girl Speaking, we are following Tweety as she finds herself dealing with mental health, anxiety and depression. Throughout this book, there is some exact representation of both of these mental health disorders, and I really felt for Tweety and how others in her community, especially her dance troupe and her best friend, did not see how Tweety was feeling.

'More like I couldn't find the strength this morning, and by the time I found it, I was already late ' 

I really like how we see the differences in Tweety's friends. All their lives are separate, and their troubles are, but they don't seem to notice Tweety is depressed. It was interesting also to learn that Desi doesn't have a word for depression. I loved how Pyria and Tweety's relationship is, but you can also see the teenager restrain them. I like how we see that throughout the dance troupe; they are part of that. There are some ups and downs.

The Desi Girl Speaking Podcast is a fantastic representation of this book. I love how Tweety makes a new friend and also realizes she is suffering from depression. I like how well the emails went with both of these girls and how the response did elect how those with depression and anxiety feel socially. I highly recommend this book and will be rereading it in the near future. 

I finished this book in one sitting as I could not put it down.
