Early readers, in their own words.

Netflix: 0. 1000 Days of Love: 1. This book replaced my Grey's Anatomy.

I cried three or four times reading it. I could literally feel that tightness in my chest. It landed straight into the heart of a South Asian woman who felt every word in her bones.

I started the book thinking I'd just read 5 pages… and now I'm completely glued to it. I've already smiled so many times while reading — it's just so relatable.

About the author

5 years in the making

I'm Soundarya, and this is the book I wanted to write before I die.

I've written two books before. Admitted helped thousands of students navigate studying abroad. Unshackled, co-written with an immigration lawyer, became a guide for skilled immigrants in America trying to make sense of a broken system. Along the way, I built one of the largest communities for legal immigrants.

This book is different. It's fiction, but it's the truest thing I've written. It started as a single journal entry five years ago after I met Rajesh Setty, my godfather. Two years, four continents, and five drafts later, here we are.
