What this book is about

Chetan Bhagat's novel is told from the first-person perspective of Radhika Mehta, a high-achieving Goldman Sachs banker navigating the expectations of her Indian family and the complications of her romantic life — specifically three significant relationships — as she arrives at her own wedding and tries to figure out what she actually wants. Bhagat, one of India's bestselling English-language novelists, wrote One Indian Girl as an attempt to center a female perspective.
