🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Pakistani Pride and Prejudice.
It's what it says in the tin.

I haven't read Pride and Prejudice (at this point), so can't judge on the similarities or references but even so it's entertaining.

It talks about the culture and of course the food of Pakistan, so purely for that it's fun. 
It could look too caricaturistic, so it sounds too much like it's written for the West, but still it's refreshing to read the comic side of Pakistani girls, and this is the real Pakistan written by a woman born in Pakistan an it's lovely, no doubt it's a pleasant read.

The chatty girls are definitely a homage to the original.
