The Windfall by Diksha Basu
I enjoyed the Windfall, it balanced heart and humor so well, with wonderful characters and imagery.
However, I really wanted to linger longer on some of the characters in the novel, particularly Johnny. Who, had the potential to be more than 1 dimensional but with so many stories going on he was lost. I wish the book had been longer or the climax had played out earlier so we could see these characters in the days after - not just weeks. I would have loved to see their true selves in that different way.
I loved the Chopra’s surprising compassion and the ease in which Reema found happiness. It also made me genuinely laugh out loud multiple times - the quips kept coming!
