Although this sequel stands alone, fans of Born Confused will most appreciate this second book about East Indian American Dimple Lala, now studying photography at NYU. She, her parents, and DJ boyfriend Karsh travel to Bombay for a family wedding--or so they think. Dimple's complex, wordy, sensory-filled narration is deeply engaging for those who enjoy Hidier's distinctive style of lyrical language play.
