There’s Something About You by Yashodhara Lal Book Review:
Things I liked:
I fell in love with the cover of this book and could not help myself from checking it out! Then the blurb is also interesting and had me agreeing that this was a book I wanted to read.
Right from the start, my attention was captured by the story which starts with an ordinary girl trying to stay afloat in a metropolitan city like Mumbai. So, Trish’s quirks, eccentricities and her dysfunctional family had me grinning and enjoying as I stayed glued to my seat.
The plot is seemingly plain but it surprises us when we really get down to reading the book. Then the author’s writing style is engaging, witty and expressive. So, I could visualise the scenarios, feel the emotions and couldn’t help myself as I got transported to Trish’s life.
The characters feel like real people with real problems. I loved Trish with all her insecurities, her parents especially her mother irritated me in the beginning but then slowly I started seeing the normal Indian mother pattern in her. She is like so many other Indian mothers, pestering their daughters to loose weight, get married then have children and always having a say in their personal lives. Then when the daughters get angry, they, like Trish’s mother, make sweets and other delicacies to please them.
Characterisation:
Sahil had me falling in love with him. He is so cute with his geeky look but mature enough to know how to handle situations. So, he complemented Trish perfectly and had me rooting for their happily-ever-after.
Trish’s friend and neighbour is also a very interesting character and had me feeling like she was my best friend too. Then the other characters are also tastefully developed and provide an insight into the varied facets of human personality.
The pace of the story is perfect and the story carried forward fluidly. Also the suspense and the interconnecting of events had me feeling impressed with the author. Then the many subplots in the story are beautifully executed and closed. Also the whole Agony aunt column gave me a new perspective to Trish’s character and also to the fact that people listen to sarcasm better than they do to kind words.
