I have been a fan of Varsha Dixit's writing ever since I read Right Fit, Wrong Shoe, I love the way her protagonists think and intereact, it really makes for some interesting conversations and monologues (when they are talking to themselves). So, I've been looking forward to for her second book to release... and post that I literally hounded the staff at Crossword, Powai, till they agreed to order the book for me (I am sure they have been dubbed me the "Crazy Book Lady").
Anyways I digress; so I finally managed to get my hands on a copy this week and immediately launched into a full-attention-no-distraction reading mode. The initial write-up for the book promised something interesting and Xcess Baggage delivers just that.
The story is riveting and Meghna's dry wit in the face of certain death keeps you hooked. The name Byron actually suits the male lead as he exudes an aura that is dark, scintillating and something medieval. The questions asked by Meghna, are something that you and me (read Hollywood educated junta) would ask if we had the misfortune of being in her place. The story grows on you to such an extent that you will find it difficult to put the book down. I really cannot and will not say anything more as it will kill the plot.
If you are into sci-fi, vampires, werewolves, crackling wit and have a zany sense of humor, go ahead and buy your copy!!!
