About the book
Vanndana has penned down this book which consist of stories from her part of life. She starts the book by writing about her childhood. Vanndana belongs to an educated and happy family.At a young age she lost her sister and that took a toll on her mother.But then her mother managed things and helped Vanndana to grow with ethics and education. I really like the fact that Vanndana’s mother was a bold lady and believes in going ahead in life no matter what.
There are 12 chapters in this book and each chapter is about the author’s part of life which sounds really interesting and that made me pick up this book to read.Among the 12 stories my most favourites one is Chapter 6 which is about a beautiful and smooth love story. Through her stories she has highlighted about what she has experienced and what she has learned. She wrote about the idea of liberalism and being able to take decisions. She wrote about dating and what is her purpose of dating. Whimsically described the types of dates she has encountered till date. She wrote about her trip to Glastonbury and described the places over there.
Review
It was an awesome short read for me.I Finished reading this book within one sitting. The author’s writting style is not unadorned rather very much exciting as well as humorous and that’s what kept me engrossed.The stories in this book are worth reading. These stories are not just stories but her real life experiences and that’s why it can provide one with lots of lessons. Sometimes we become perplex about our choices.If so then grab this book and give it a read. This book will not really give you a solution but it will decrease your confusion for sure. She has also pasted some pictures from her childhood days and her trip. Overall I enjoyed reading this book but the title could have been more better.
