Zarna’s Garg’s, This American Woman, is entertaining, hopeful, and humorous. I don’t read a lot of memoirs, but this one pulled me right in.

What I Liked About This American Woman:
I was most interested about Zarna’s life in India. I love reading about other cultures and seeing how people grew up differently than me. Zarna’s teenage years weren’t easy, and it couldn’t have been more different the ones I experienced. She experienced homelessness, a strict father, and the fear of being in an arranged marriage.
Zarna is truly inspirational. Her story shows that true grit, humor, and a lot of hard work will take you places in life. It’s strange how life took into the path of becoming a comedian.
I love watching her YouTube and Tik Tok videos now. I had never heard of her until I read her book, but now I am a big fan. I love seeing her comedy shows, especially the ones she included in her book. I hope this book has a lot of success because Zarna deserves it.

Thank you to NetGalley, Random House Publishing, and Zarna Garg for sharing a free copy of this book with me. This is my honest opinion.
