Estimated reading time: 6 hrs (if you are me)
This is one of those books that all girls can generally relate to. It makes you laugh, cover to cover, and it is a good, light read and is very suitable for train journeys. It's a reasonably good story but flawed somewhat. There are some typos here and there in the book and the confusion between "lose" and "loose" sticks out sorely.
I'll give it to you that it is absolutely hilarious but at some level, the story seems unreal. One cannot exactly connect to it. You are engaged in the flow of the story but there is no intensity in it.
One of the things that it clearly depicts is the drama and desperation of the arranged marriage obsessed Indian mother, and of course, love can be found and one can live happily ever after. Essentially, this book fulfills the requirement to be deemed as chick-lit. It makes you laugh and it gives you hope. Most of us may wind up with Anshuman but we'll all find our Aditya :) And for those of you who don't get the analogy, watch Jab We Met!
Cheers.
