Read it: Bitter Sweets by Roopa Farooki

I read this (amazon, wcpl) last weekend. It was a quick read. It was very soap opera-y with lots of delicate twists, turns and difficult to believe coincidences in the plot. The writer was a little clumsy and haphazard. For example, there is lots of emphasis put on names, naming things etc. The characters spend a lot of time discussing names...who knows why really. All of these instances were overly obvious and then totally forgotten in the end. The main plot revolves around lying, necessary lying and frivolous lying etc.

I know this review sounds...negative...but I still enjoyed to book. It was not too demanding, entertaining and a bit on the fluffy side. A more serious version of Indian chick-lit? a poorly written Brick Road? By the time you start to wonder if you like it is over.

So you need something like reading an Indian tv melodrama...and sometimes you do... this is the book for you!
P.S. the author's name is fun to say
