Book Review: Right Fit Wrong Shoe!!!

I was at Crossword, Powai recently drooling over all the books. Actually I was just supposed to be giving my colleague company while she picked out her Secret Santa gift, but ended up buying a whole load of books myself. My credit card is actually 30% thinner than what it was at the time the bank sent it over to me. I am sure it is the most used (abused??) card this side of the Atlantic!!!

Anyways I digress; the best books I have picked out have been courtesy The Times of India, Book review section. I liked the review for "Right Fit, Wrong Shoe", it seemed like a good story and a light read and made a mental note to pick this book up on my next visit to Crossword. To cut a long story short I purchased the book and I can honestly say it is the best Rs.95/- I have spent. The book reviews which have gone so far as to say "If you are having a good day 'Right 'Fit Wrong Shoe will make it better, if the day's bad it won't get any worse." are 100% sach aur sach ke siwa kuch bhi nahi, melord!!!. This is a book that you can read when you are low and could use some cheering. Ask me I was sat back at home with nothing to do on New Year’s Eve and decided to read this book. I read it from cover and cover and was grinning like a Cheshire cat when I put it down.

The book is funny from the word go. The witty dialogues and fast pace make this a page turner. The relationships are very delicately explored, the zingers exchanged by the lead pair (Aditya and Nandini) absolutely rock. The bond shared by Nandini and Sneha (her chuddy buddy) a true reflection of how women bond and stick for one another. This story warms the heart as it is set in contemporary times and reflects the society as it is now, where modernisation jostles for space with tradition, so much so that it could be a page out of anyones life.

If you could use a light read, go ahead and buy your copy!!!
