Ever wonder what being in a sorority is all about?  This is a fun, clean, realistic story of three freshmen trying to decide if the Greek system is for them.  The author accurately describes the formal recruitment process for joining a sorority.  I found myself connecting to the sister of Zeta Zeta Tau in the book.  There was something familiar about them...turns out the author is part of my college sorority!

Eight short stories (including a trilogy) by the author of "The Namesake" that are about relationships between family members, friends, and lovers.  The characters are Indian (Bengali) and American and must deal with emotionally complex issues of both cultures.  It is a great read - I usually don't like books with several short stories.  A few of the issues are similar to the issues I deal with as a result of growing up with two cultures.
