Publisher's summary

From the internationally best-selling author of The Windfall.... What could go wrong at a lavish Indian wedding with your best friend and your entire family?

“A witty and romantic novel perfect for all readers.” (Terry McMillan)

Named one of the best books of the year by Marie Claire and New York Post

When Tina Das finds herself at a crossroads both professionally and personally, she wonders if a weeklong trip to Delhi for her cousin’s lavish wedding might be just the right kind of escape. Maybe a little time away from New York will help get her mind straight about her stalled career, her recent breakup, and her nagging suspicion that she’ll never feel as at home in America as she does in India. Tina hopes this destination wedding, taking place at Delhi’s poshest country club, Colebrookes, will be the perfect way to reflect and unwind.

But with the entire Das family in attendance, a relaxing vacation is decidedly not in the cards. Her amicably divorced parents are each using the occasion to explore new love interests - for her mother, a white American boyfriend, for her father, an Indian widow arranged by an online matchmaker - and Tina’s squarely in the middle. A former fling is unexpectedly on the guest list, a work opportunity is blurring the lines of propriety on several fronts, and her best friend Marianne’s terrible penchant for international playboys is poised to cause all sorts of chaos back home. The accommodations are swanky, the alcohol is top-shelf, but this family wedding may be more drama than Tina can bear and could finally force her to make the choices she’s spent much of her life avoiding.

Infused with warmth and charm, Destination Wedding grapples with the nuances of family, careers, belonging, and how we find the people who make a place feel like home.

Good As A Summer Read.

Story was simple and cute. It was nice to hear about supportive family relationships after a divorce in a South Asian story. Narrator hindi pronunciations definitely could use some work.

too many details but also not enough

I really dislike the style in which this book was written. The POV changes so often in one scenario, it can get confusing. The main character was very annoying. She's obsessed with white people, embarrassed about not being Indian enough, tries too hard and then ends up with a loser musician. The "humor" was not it either. Maybe I don't like Indian humor...?

Secondly, the Mr Das leaves his wife for emotionally cheating but somehow has a change of heart with this new lady overnight?

Just an all-round poor book.
