This slim book covers a lot of topics: divorce, cancer, friendship, casual racism.... but does it all in a thoughful and humorous way. I loved the voice of the narrator - it was like hearing a story from a funny and slightly awkward friend. I found her very relatable too since we both experienced racial taunts as elementary school children and we share a love of AYCE Indian buffet restaurants. The latter half of the book was a bit slow to me as it focused more on storytelling and her children and wasn't quite as witty. Overall this was a worthwhile and enjoyabole read.
