Farah Heron's newest rom-com JANA GOES WILD begins with Jana meeting her soulmate, Anir, but breaks it off upon learning he lied about being divorced, only to learn she is pregnant. Fast forward five years and Jana is thrown together with Anir to attend an extended destination family wedding in Tanzania. Jana decides to work through the lingering betrayal bought on by Anir, cultural backlash, and repercussions she received at work by completing tasks taking her outside her introverted comfort zone.
JANA GOES WILD involves interesting dynamics between the family and friends attending the wedding, incredible locations in the National Parks, wildlife around Tanzania, and mouth-watering food. As I read the book, the relationship of Jana with her friends on the backdrop of East Africa was the strongest part for me. At times, Jana and her mother both came across as rather irritating to read with their unhealthy focus on what other people think about them and their inability to move on from issues. Overall, I found the descriptive peek into Indian and East African culture and attitudes very engaging and enjoyed spending time there with these characters.
