“WINNIE: We need to talk, Raj
WINNIE: I don’t know why you’re avoiding me, but if we’re going to work together. . .
WINNIE: Seriously, what the hell, Raj????”
I’m late to this week’s Friday 56! This week I am spotlighting my currently read, Nisha Sharma’s My So-Called Bollywood Life. I’m really enjoying this contemporary. The narration is so funny and I love that it embraces this dramatic tone, which fits really well with the story. Cover is linked to Goodreads.
From the Goodreads Synopsis:
“Winnie Mehta was never really convinced that Raj was her soulmate, but their love was written in the stars. Literally, a pandit predicted Winnie would find the love of her life before her 18th birthday, and Raj meets all of the qualifications. Which is why Winnie is shocked to return from her summer at film camp to find her boyfriend of three years hooking up with Jenny Dickens. Worse, Raj is crowned chair of the student film festival, a spot Winnie was counting on for her film school applications. As a self-proclaimed Bollywood expert, Winnie knows this is not how her perfect ending is scripted.
Then there’s Dev, a fellow film geek, and one of the few people Winnie can count on to help her reclaim control of her story. Dev is smart, charming, and challenges Winnie to look beyond her horoscope to find someone she’d pick for herself. But does falling for Dev mean giving up on her prophecy, and her chance to live happily ever after? To get her Bollywood-like life on track, Winnie will need a little bit of help from fate, family, and of course, a Bollywood movie star.”
I love the cover design!
