"Mira Salvi has the perfect life -- a job she loves, a fianc¢e everyone adores, and the secure future she's always imagined for herself. Really, she hasn't a thing to complain about, not even when she has to go on her engagement trip to New York alone. While playing tourist in the city, Mira chances upon a lost ring, and her social media post to locate its owner goes viral. With everyone trying to claim the ring, only one person seems to want to find its owner as badly as Mira does: journalist Krish Hale. Brooding and arrogant, he will do anything to get to write this story. As Krish and Mira reluctantly join forces and jump into the adventure of tracing the ring back to where it belongs, Mira begins to wonder if she is in the right place in her own life. She had to have found this ring for a reason -- right? Maybe, like the owner of the lost ring, her happy ending hasn't been written yet either"--

I was captivated from beginning to end! The story line was very well written. Some unexpected twist and turns made it very hard to put down.
It took a minute, roughly 120 pages, to get going but once it did… trigger warning for assault and emotional abuse.
Mira has something about her that comes into view one thread at a time while other issues get intriguing multi-viewed perspectives. Dev produced this novel in a way that my imagination tells me an Indian seamstress creates a sari. For me it is a novel that underlines the idea of our together ness as humans while showing our weaknesses as humans. It was an interesting read.
There's Something About Mira touched my heart. I too have parents from another culture, who came to America for better opportunities. I totally understand how debilitating and hurtful growing up with parents who give backward compliments or guilt/ shame you into bending to their misguided views of who you should be. I am thankful to them for giving me a chance at a better life, but being appreciative should not be at the expense of living my own life or true to myself.
Although the reading was a little slow and boring, it picks up once Mira travels to NYC. From then on it becomes spellbinding, and is a great view into different cultures while you keep reading to follow Mira’s quest.
