Rating: Summary: Insightful BEYOND confusion. Review: Dimple Rohitbai Lala, main character, an average American teenager, but yet so above average. Her life so complicated, family life and social life becoming more and more dangerously tangled. Born confused, so the title goes, and it's true. Dimple, in her confusion, has insights that go beyond any of our expectations for the book. The pages of Born Confused are filled with Dimple's thought-provoking opinions, questions and ... sheer confusion. The other characters are very unique: Karsh, so mature and lovable to reader and Dimple alike; Gwyn, so interesting and intruiging, yet reader will have different opinions about her throughout the novel and most importantly, my personal favourite, Kavita, who teaches Dimple so many important life lessons and shows her the path to maturity and to womanhood. This book in question is somewhat original in context and characterisation but is along the lines of movies Bend it Like Beckham and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, with rich and cultural families that majorly impact the main character. Yet you don't want to miss it! A Must-read that will magically glue eyes to it's pages, accomplishing a feat no glue ever has!
