Summary

A youth group’s temple road trip through India is a liberating escape for a former mean girl and sunshine boy to explore their past and their feelings for each other in the much-anticipated novel about self-discovery by the award-winning author of My So-Called Bollywood Life.

Born and raised in the US, Tara Bajaj hides her family secrets. With beautiful clothes, a popular social media presence, and a spot on the Rutgers High Bollywood dance team, she does it well—until her carefully cultivated image shatters. Shut out by friends and with her future in flux, Tara accepts a guide position for a youth group’s temple tour through North India. Rediscovering the heart of her ancestry is as good a place as any to start over.

Silas D’Souza-Gupta is an aspiring photojournalist retracing the journey his two mothers took when they fell in love. The last thing he expects on this road trip through his roots is a girl with a history of her own. As Tara and Silas embark on the trip to remote pilgrimage sites from Punjab through the Himalayas, they each discover what it means to be a child in the Indian diaspora, the significance of karma, and the healing power of love.

Critic reviews

“Narrators Soneela Nankani and Fajer Al-Kaisi are a winning combination in this contemporary romance. Tara and Silas, both young adults who are searching for meaning, meet while part of a tour group in India.… The romance between these two is a slow burn and is realistically narrated. Each character takes on an individual goal: Silas learns about queer culture in India, and Tara explores core aspects of Indian womanhood. These subplots help create a full listening experience. Side characters are given unique personalities that reflect their diversity. This audiobook is especially recommended for romantics with wanderlust.” —AudioFile Magazine

“A heartwarming story about personal growth.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Sharma smartly interlocks…classic road-trip novel tropes, capitalizing on the inherent freedom of self-discovery while navigating familial traditions and expectations…[and] issues of class, identity, and spirituality.” —Publishers Weekly
