The White Coat Diaries
by
Having spent the last twenty-something years with her nose in a textbook, brilliant and driven Norah Kapadia has just landed the medical residency of her dreams. But after a disastrous first day, she's ready to quit. Disgruntled patients, sleep deprivation, and her duty to be the "perfect Indian daughter" have her questioning her future as a doctor.
Enter chief resident Ethan Cantor. He's everything Norah aspires to be: respected by the attendings, calm during emergencies, and charismatic with the patients. As he morphs from Norah’s mentor to something more, it seems her luck is finally changing.
When a fatal medical mistake is made, pulling Norah into a cover-up, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect the secret. What if “doing no harm” means risking her career and the future for which she’s worked so hard?"

it was amazing
bookshelves: 2020, books-with-aut-or-fan-issues, galleys-arcs, netgalley, re-read4.5 stars rounded up.
I can not think of the words to describe my love of this book. This book is going on my re-read shelf and may even make it onto my comfort read shelf! These books are the ones I re-read when life is kicking you in the face, and you need something that will help you destress.
At first glance, this sem to be a typical coming of age novel. For a while, it even seemed as if it was going to be a typical romance. However, it is much more than that. At first glance, the protagonist appears to be your typical ethnic caricature, but she develops into so much more than that. Norah really grows into a woman of worth. Her ride is a bumpy one. For a while, I lost a little of my faith in Norah as a good person. The author soon clears the air, and you finally see Norah as what she could have been all along if circumstances had been different.
I hope that this author thinks about writing a sequel to this book and that Norah might get a happily ever after.
