“brings the m in the messiness of the main character”
Lately, I have been enjoying reading about messy main characters. And Sajni Patel provides the perfect messy main character in Isha, Unscripted.
Isha, Unscripted brings the m in the messiness of the main character, Isha Patel. Isha is pretty known to be the disappointment in her family. She does not meet her family's expectations by becoming established in her career or her life. And it’s something Isha does struggle with but yet struggles to be true to herself. It’s not always easy to do, especially being raised in Indian culture.
What I admire about Isha in her messy era is her willness in being true to herself even though it conflicts with her parents’ expectations. It’s hard not to follow your parents expectations, especially in a diverse culture. But if you are more willing and determined to be your true self, then you know what you will have too. It may be scary and lonely if it does not align with your family expectations or cultural traditions, but in the end, it’s you who has to face it. And that’s what Isha has been trying to do while she adjusts to her family's expectations.
What I will say about this book is that it is not a romance book as it is advertised to be. It’s more women fiction genre than romance. And it should be advertised as such. You will have better expectations.
