I stopped at the cafe for lunch and some outdoor reading time on my bike ride home and can now say the start is rather slow. Also, Dev notes in her acknowledgements that this is an inspired by, rather than derived from, kind of story. The main characters are Indian-American Tricia, a neurosurgeon, and European-Indian caterer D.J. The start is a little slow, but I&#8217;VE heard it gets better, so I shall stick with it. <\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spriteshoots\/48096505691\/in\/photostream\/\" title=\"Wednesday at Big Bear\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/48096505691_315381e61b.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"Wednesday at Big Bear\"><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Head to <a href=\"http:\/\/askatknits.com\/2019\/06\/19\/unraveled-wednesday-6-19-19\/\">As Kat Knits<\/a> to see what others are crafting and reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am in a knitting funk.
