Deepa Paul offers a brave and insightful perspective on marriage and love.
I had high expectations and perhaps wrongly estimated the memoir aspect of this - I have mixed feelings about certain parts. In a way, I appreciate her honesty and her talking about motherhood, her family background, and all the different identities she has. The writing did not fully click with me, but this may not be the case for other readers.
3.5 stars rounded up.

Ask Me How It Works : Love in an Open Marriage. This book wasn't quite what I expected. It is more of a biography and full life story rather than just the juicy bits. To be honest I didn't really want to read a generational history, as I found it all so unrelatable. I did skim over lots. I am glad it works for them, and the author is brave to write about it all, but it wasn't a book for me. I think there will be lots of people who will love it and find a connection, but as the title question was so direct, I was expecting it to be more focussed.
