Hello and happy Wednesday. This week has felt so long, but I’m happy about that because next Thursday I’m going back to work, and even though I’m prepared, I know that my time of reading and blogging and studying will be cut short. One of my last holiday reads is The Curious Secrets of Yesterday by Namrata Patel. Thanks to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.

If you want to read a story about a thirty-year-old whose life choices have revolved around her family and who needs to discover who she really is and what she really likes and ultimately what moves her, then this is the book for you. If you related to the description I just gave, hi, welcome to the club. This had a nice balance of internal monologue, family dynamics and romance, that made the novel entertaining even when it got sort of dense or long-winded. My only issue would be that the pacing was odd, but that might have been a “me” problem.
