Summary:

Travel journo, Kairavi Krishna (Kay) has had it with men. After a series of disasters (losers, philanderers, leeches, mama’s boys and possessive psychos), she is all too tempted to walk out on the prospect of ever finding love. Accompanied by her best friend and flat-mate Baani, she sets off for Goa, hoping to get away from her miserable love life and vowing to stay clear of the male species.
Goa however, has a host of surprises in store for her. Ricky, her pesky ex-boyfriend, is busy painting the town red with his hot new girlfriend. Now what is poor Kay to do, other than overdose on vodka, smoke pot, get an outrageous tattoo and fall off the hotel balcony? She wakes up in the hospital to the tender ministrations of Dr.Vivian D’Mello–young, suave and handsome as hell. Will Kay stick to her guns or will she fall for his ridiculously sexy charms? And what’s up with the mixed signals he’s giving out?

Review:

If you are a looking for a quick and cute read you might want to pick this one up. It was interesting to read about a country that I’m not familiar with, and different customs and traditions in general. A readers tip – there is a list of Hindi terms at the end that would be very helpful to rely on throughout your reading. Sometimes I felt a disconnect with the main character and didn’t get fully invested in her love life, but overall I thought it was sweet read. Something different for your to-read pile!

3.5 stars
