Despite pleasing her parents, excelling at school, and making plans to get her family out of debt, Kareena’s never felt quite Indian enough, and her training is only making it worse. If only her sport weren’t seen as something too rough for girls, something she’s afraid to share She’s landed the chance of a lifetime, an invitation to the US Muay Thai Open, which could lead to a spot on the first-ever Olympic team. Amit goes as far as defending her against his own parents.If seventeen-year-old Kareena Thakkar is going to alienate herself from the entire Indian community, she might as well do it gloriously. He also was very understanding of how Kareena feels about being judged by the Indian community.
I also really loved how supportive Amit was with allowing Kareena the space she needed to focus on Muay Thai, while still showing her that he was in her corner. It was very refreshing to read a story in which the guy is more adamant about his feelings. One memorable thing about the book was Amit’s character. However, towards the end of the book, she has more confidence to wear traditional Indian outfits that expose her muscles. At times, she would feel very conscious of her appearance because of her muscles and strength. Kareena not only develops feelings for Amit, she begins to work on her own self-love journey. It was nice to read about a character that doesn’t fit the usual narrative of most books. It was upbeat and fun, while also talking about the pressures of Indian culture. I really enjoyed the realism of the book, since it stemmed from the author’s personal experiences. Along with all of this, Kareena battles her growing feelings for Amit Patel, the perfect Indian boy. This is a great opportunity for Kareena because doing well could potentially land her on the rumored Olympic team. Kareena’s dedication to the sport earned her a chance to fight in the US Muay Thai Open. Despite judgement, she chooses to continue Muay Thai and just avoid popular Indian events.
Kareena is very gifted in the sport, but people in the Indian community have made her feel isolated because it isn’t traditional for a girl to fight.
She is an Indian girl who practices Muay Thai, a martial art and combat sport. The Knockout is about the challenges that Kareena Thakkar faces. Or to place a hold on it in our online catalog!
