This was a cute book with rich and colorful detailed illustrations that take the reader through one specific playful tradition of Indian weddings. While the tradition is specific to Indian weddings in certain parts of India only, it is a familiar one for many Indians either because it is their own tradition or through media! This book makes it known to others as well. Love the glimpse into these littler parts of weddings that are all about tradition and family and culture.
Thanks to NetGalley for the digital review copy of the book. Opinions are my own.

I wasn’t a fan of the cover, but I loved “Sona and the Wedding Game.” I learned so much about another culture’s wedding traditions and it was fantastic.

Usually, when I am reviewing a book, I have a clear mind of what I think about it. Sona and the Wedding Game happens to be one of those books that I had to think a little harder than usual.

This is the story of a fictional Hindu wedding but is based on real-life weddings for some Hindus. I thought the tradition of stealing a groom's shoes was very different but the book explains the reason and it is all about family. In fact, the book makes it clear that every nuance of this kind of wedding is to bring two families closer together. I like that!

I was a bit disappointed at the end as her request was asked but then there was no conclusion it seemed. Maybe I missed that part and it could be because...

The few illustrations I was able to see were colorful and cute. Unfortunately, the copy I had on Kindle did not convey as well as I would have liked to have seen. In fact, I think they were missing altogether. I do not think that is the fault of the author but if it had been a child trying to read the book, it would have been disappointing.

The book is a nice glimpse into some of India's rich culture It is only a small part, but still yet still worth reading, especially if learning about India.
