review 1: A friend told me about this book, so I picked up a copy for my Kindle. It is Indian chick lit and is absolutely hilarious. The main character is Nisha Desai, a young college-educated Indian woman, with a degree in Communications. She loves romance novels and want to visit the U.S., so is ecstatic when she learns that her aunt and two American-born cousins will be coming to visit. Her younger sister, the acid-tongued Vinita, is less thrilled, since the girls have to give up their room to the cousins and move to the basement. Life is complicated by their traditional father's attempts at matchmaking, especially since he has such awful taste in prospective suitors. The American cousins arrive and cause a stir wherever they go, with comic results. The funniest subplot involves ... morea "sacred" cow their father installs in the backyard. But all's well that ends well, and I laughed out loud through the whole book.
review 2: I enjoyed this story and its characters. It was an unusual and humorous novel and the setting was nearly another character itself.My one complaint was that I have the version for Kindle, and it was glitchy. Regularly, two lines were skipped when flipping from page to page; the only way to view the skipped lines was to change the font size. That got annoying. This has never before happened to me while reading anything on Kindle. less
