Status Updates From Cântecul inimilor rebele

The overzealous use of "yaar" is jarring and annoying.

I'm sure there's a valid reason, genuine trauma that will be uncovered later in the book & explain Smita's behavior, but without that context she's coming across as rude, judgemental, condescending, and unsympathetic. Makes for good reading, but I do miss a book where I just like my protagonist.
