Born Confused
by Tanuja Desai Hidier
Teen Angst / Romance | 500 pages
Dimple Lala is a 17 year old Indian-American who can't figure out where she belongs. Her best friend Gwen is blonde and gorgeous and has always overshadowed her, but she hasn't really cared, until now. When her parents decide to try and arrange a marrige with a sutible Indian boy, she is determined not to cooperate, and even tells Gwen that she can't stand him. But things aren't always as they seem, and soon it looks like she might have been wrong, but what she's said isn't simply going to go away. The summer before senior year is one she's going to spend finding herself, and a whole lot more.
Touching and funny, this is a well-written book that was hard to put down. It goes far beyond the average teen girl diary (meaning anything told in first person) book.
Well, there it is, my first review. I should have another one up soon. Meanwhile, if you've read this book, feel free to comment on it, and if you have anything you'd like to see here, please tell me.
