No One Can Pronounce My Name by Rakesh Satyal

Bookly Box Subscription - May - Literary Fiction

There were many things I liked about this book - the Indian/Hindu culture, the honest and real LGBTQ characters (not token/comedic), the chapters volleying the focus on a different character yet bringing them all together.

While I didn't fall in love with any one character or even the book itself, I did come to care about all of them.  There was a flow, almost prose to Satyal's writing that made it fairly easy and enjoyable to read.  Yet, I find it to probably be a more forgettable read without it being the typical fluff book/mind cleanse/guilty pleasure type of book.

While I didn't mark any standout quotes, there were passages that resonated with me in regards to creating and being responsible for your own happiness,  living for yourself and accepting yourself.
