I could see Shuchi’s wit sparkle in the book.

The very normal conversations and the totally witty retorts by Roli just add a shine to the story. The best part of this book is the romance – sweet, and so real. I found him sweet, a bit too sweet at times but then can sweet be ever too much? Convoluted, I know!! Kabir is the guy who finally wins her heart and what a twist in the romance. It was a good direction for her Monika too. The book has some good moments between the two and like a good friend she helped her in all aspects of her life and the book too. Monika, her best friend was a wonderfully penned character and added to Roli’s story. The story of her family, friends and work is a well-balanced one and I enjoyed reading about the moments with her father. It is a well-paced book with each chapter having something to look forward to as we try to find the perfect guy, the one to fall in love with Roli. The book is a delight to read, it is smart, sassy and the story moves fast. Leave aside the topic, leave aside the story just the language of the book is good enough for you to enjoy this book with its wonderful ‘laugh out loud’ moments, frank statements, and truths that hit home. This is the second novel by Shuchi and I have always appreciated her writing and this book just reaffirms it.
