review 1: Cosmopolitan says that a new Carrie Bradshaw has arrived and this made me to look at the book with a new perspective. In the first book, Kaveri was a lot similar to Charlotte and Miranda; she believed in true love and was ready to wait for him and was well educated and very confident and could give men a tough competition.After her break up with Arjun she became a lot like Samantha and had no qualms with having sex with men at all sorts of places.But now in this book, she is hundred percent Carrie, she is super-bitchy, selfish, self-centered and judging her friends all the time and think only about herself.I did not like this Kaveri at all. Though I myself suggested that we shouldn’t read the book if we are too judgmental, I couldn’t help myself from being judgmental t... morehis time. May be that’s the reason I did not enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed “Losing my Virginity and Other Dumb Ideas”.The book is as well written as its prequel and explores the life of middle aged women who struggles to make their place in the male dominant society and live their lives on their own terms and no one else.
review 2: This story surely keeps you hooked on till the end. It talks about the new age definition of love, relationships and sex which most of the generation today can easily relate to. What is interesting is her diversity in relationships and her perspectives on the same once they ended. Being involved with a married man, then getting involved with a Spanish guy younger than her, then a rich guy 12 years older than her, making out with a movie star! Incredible range of relationship diversity! Personally, the only disappointing factor was finally ending up in an 'expected' cliched arranged marriage. However, the Twitter love angle was again an interesting take on the same. Does prove the fairy tale line 'One has to kiss a lot of frogs to find one's prince'. less

Not as good as her first book. Its predicable and does not have the charm her first book had.
