3.5 stars rounded up.

I enjoyed this book for its warm and charming characters, who are often Indian caricatures. I'm not sure how I feel finding humor in stereotypes present in this book that are also perpetuated in American culture. But maybe I'm assigning too much meaning to it since it is a satire? I'd like to read other people's thoughts.

I also felt it ended rather quickly, and that Rupak didn't really develop as much as I expected. In all honesty, Elizabeth and Serena were not unlike manic pixie dream girls and Rupak easily accepted the role of "wayward son supported by rich father" in the end.
