Hedon
When Tara Mullick meets Jay Dhillon at a stifling society wedding, she forgets, for a moment, that she’s an awkward, chubby seventeen-year-old, dying to get out of her sparkly lehenga and back into the comfortable invisibility of an oversized T-shirt.
And all Tara can do is carry him with her, a talisman, over half a decade spent oscillating between India and the American heartland.
Laced with pop culture and a heady dose of decadence, this is the hedonistic experience of heedless millennials out in an ever-shrinking world and, within that world, the struggle to find a place or person to call home.

First of all the cover is hats off. And now that is out of the way, the book is not as terrific as the cover.
The story follows a plot of a girl named Tara. Who falls in love or is infatuated with an older guy who is way out of her league. Then moves to America for studies feeling ashamed of her Indian heritage, she pretends to be from Ohio, and smokes amd has lots of sex.
It's really hard to follow the plot sometimes because a lot of nonsense is going around. Also someone needs to tell Tara she is so lucky. But she doesn't appreciate it.
Afterall we all hate rich bratty girls who think that they are the most unfortunate of them all.
But besides the character potrayal, the authors vocabulary and the way of showing things is exemplary. The short poem sometimes in the between here and there are good. If Priyanka Mukherjee the author publishes a poem book I would definitely buy it.
