I Will Blossom Anyway by Disha Bose

I would not qualify this as a romance book but one about self discovery.  Durga lives in Ireland after leaving her large family in India.  She is shy and has social anxiety.  She is attracted to one of her co-workers, Jacob, and ends up renting  part of her apartment to his sister, Joy.  Joy becomes her best friend and she enters a two year relationship with Jacob.  This is not what the novel is about though.  The novel starts with her break-up with Jacob.  They broke up because she is embarrassed to tell her family about Jacob since he is mixed race.  I don't want to spoil the novel but then something shocking happens and the rest of the novel is about Durga trying to find her way.  

This was only OK to me.  It felt very slow and honestly I really didn't want to read about someones break up.  The book did get better near the end.  I really like the Durga at the end of the story and I enjoyed reading about her sister Tia.  I just wish this book wasn't as sad as it was for the majority of the book because the ending was good.
