The One She Was Warned About by Shoma Narayanan
Shoma Narayanan was suggested to me by Suleikha Snyder, and it’s a good match of author and reader. I fell completely in love with the heroine of The One She Was Warned About. Shweta is professionally confident but personally uncertain. On the… Read more »
