\"Half<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a moment in everyone\u2019s life when their inner Rhea is unleashed.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The book is straight from the Cosmopolitan world but with the right <\/span>desi<\/span><\/i> punch. Most girls would find themselves nodding along to the insightful observations of singlehood and married life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The protagonist, <\/span>Rhea Kanwar<\/b>, is thirty, unmarried, and with an expanding waistline. Not the perfect combination, right? Itisha pens down the startling transformation of a successful career woman, who turns into a girl who starts getting obsessed over men, or rather lacks the perfect man. <\/span><\/p>\n

Rhea is quite a likable character who is witty, dramatic and has the uncanny ability to get herself in trouble all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

When Rhea decides to plunge into the marriage market, it\u2019s utter chaos. Most readers will identify with the scenario of a series of prospective suitors coupled with Rhea\u2019s misfortune and neuroticism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her family and friends slowly lose patience with her shenanigans. Enter Pammi Aunty, a matchmaker boasting a 90% success rate. <\/span><\/p>\n

Will Rhea find her true love in an arranged marriage? Or will she find love in her best friend who was next to her all this while?<\/span><\/p>\n

I found myself chuckling away to glory as the pages turned. This isn\u2019t a book where any criticism matters. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the story of every girl and the woes of her career, appearance, and relationship problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

This chick-lit might hint at a Bridget Jones-esque drama, but it\u2019s a hilarious account of the anxieties of a modern woman. <\/span><\/p>\n

Itisha nails the humor and irony right as you find yourself sympathizing and laughing at the same time. Go ahead, and pick it up for a fun and light read!<\/span><\/p>\n
