You would think that Dini’s obsession with Bollywood would awaken her interest when she realized her family was moving half way across the world. She would finally be close to her idol Dolly who is a Bollywood movie star! But this is not how things turn out at all. She felt farther away from her idol when she was in a tiny town in Maryland than where she moved to in India. Throughout the book the life she left behind leads Dolly to do some things that are highly out of character but in the end her move to India was meant to be. She was needed there not only for her idol Dolly but for many of the characters she meets along the way. Throughout the book you not only live the adventure of Dini, but from the very begining you are submerged into the Indian culture. This is a great story for any student who has just moved to, or is moving to a new place. I think it can inspire anyone to see that some times things turn out exactly how they are supposed to.
