Customer Reviews

Easy & fun read!

Its an easy and fun read as well as pretty engrossing too. The author has portrayed the characters pretty well. I myself am an Indian girl, now living in America, so I could relate with a lot of the things.

A lovely, fun, but thoughtful story.

I very much enjoyed Indie Girl, and found the simple story of a girl who wanted to win a summer apprenticeship to a "West Coast Anna Wintour" had a surprising depth. Indira soon finds that Aarylin, her glamourous magazine editor boss, is only using her, and she must find the strength to deal with the loss of a hero, and the realization that hard work and talent don't always lead to success- that sometimes, life is unfair. Indie was a delightful heroine.
