It’s making sense. I am digging it.

Good so far. Pleasantly surprised Ayurveda is being examined and discussed!

Still feeling like it’s hard to gain much from this… The characters are portrayed so extremely stereotypically and the developing “love story” within it seems too unrealistic in my opinion. I also feel like it has too many filler words/adjectives. Like someone who tells a story and is more concerned about sounding smart than actually entertaining with their story. Idk. Maybe I’m just an asshole.

I get that the author is trying to explain the process and benefits of it through a story with these characters that is supposed to be entertaining. But I’m finding myself more annoyed than anything that each time it’s brought up, even in saying “I’ll tell you the first step now,” the conversation gets convoluted and dragged out. Just lay the shit out for me. Also not a fan of the character stereotypes.

I knew what I was getting into going into this book (which is probably why it is taking me so long to finish it), but didn’t expect I’d relate as much. I suppose the loss of any matriarchal figure you are close to (or were close to at some point) will bubble to the surface while reading this. Although I’m sad, it’s still a really good book, so I’m going to finish it.
