A chick book with a difference!

Swati Kaushal succeeds in her attempt to make you laugh out loud, nod with empathy, and keep you guessing. Most chick books deal with confusion in girls’ minds. Not this one.

The book tells the story of twenty-nine-year old, hyperactive, executive with an attitude. Minal Sharma has a successful career and loves her job; well, on most days. The book takes us through twists and turns in her career and how she makes it past them all. In the background, there are also some men. Sexy Ali who takes her breath away and Sunil, the unbelievably good catch in the matrimonial market. You think you know whom she is going to pick? Think again. And, read the book.

The author has done a good job with the story and the anecdotes. She has also researched her subject really well. The strongest point of the book, in my view, is its lovable flawed characters. Kaushal has done a great job of creating life like characters from different walks of life. However, she kinds of spoils the real-life effect in the end when everyone takes out their goody-two-shoes and in a typical bollywood style we have a happy family. Only not. =)

I told ya, she keeps you guessing. Go read the book. Even if you are not a chick.
