Indie Girl

Book Name: Indie Girl
Author: Kavita Daswani
Stars: 3

Plot
-Indian girl aspires to become a fashion reporter
-Attempts to reach her goal by becoming the babysitter of famous fashion magazine editor
-Helps this editor a lot, never gets credit
-Abruptly... drops dreams? randomly leaves to India? I dunno...

Characters
-Only Indira/Indie given enough backstory
-Obsessed with fashion, spends spare time (of which she has too much) reading about gossip/fashion
-Goes through a minor transformation, seems to whine/cry less at the end

Pros
-Enjoyable, lighthearted, quick read
-Relatable to Indian girls
-Does not overdo teenage slang

Cons
-Short
-Only one main goal/story
-Side stories are not developed enough (like Indie being kissed)
-Lots of whining, random crying over the smallest stuff
-Too much filler stories
-Too much detail on her clothing
-Where were the end-of-the-year finals?!?!
