Title: Those Pricey Thakur Girls
Author: Anuja Chauhan
Genre: Fiction

Source: Self-purchased Copy

Synopsis: The story revolves around the residents of 16, Hailey Road. Retired Judge Lakshmi Narayan Thakur -the man of the house, his wife Mamta Thakur and their five beautiful daughters named alphabetically from A to E. The protagonist is D- Debjani Thakur, who lands up a job as a newsreader in the national channel DD .Dylan Singh Shekhawat- her father's kot-piece partner cum friend's son - unaware of her whereabouts, bashes her thoroughly through his article in the newspaper India Post he is working for. As fate has it, they happen to meet - the twists and turns of events following their meeting is something to be found out on reading the book.

Discovery: I had read the first novel from Anuja Chauhan "The Zoya Factor" and had loved it thoroughly. So, recently when I came across this title in one of the book selling sites, I picked it up just because the author was familiar. I was not expecting it to be as good as the first one though. I was wrong!!!

My View: I loved the book. Right from the cover of the book which goes so much in synch with the title of the book ( I never spent so much time staring at the cover of any book as I did for this one), to all the characters, the plot .... just everything about the book. Even the M* , B* etc. type words used liberally, that I despise otherwise didn't made me twitch even a little, may be because everything fitted in so well in the story that I didn't realize their presence so much. The male protagonists of Anuja's novel are always so-so desirable; they are every girl's Prince Charming. The romance in the story makes every girl feel jealous of the protagonist and feel why isn't she in her place. And the most important element of the novel is the humor. I couldn't stop laughing loudly so many times while reading the book.
The book is some 400 pages long, usually I call this a lengthy read. But I didn't realize how time flew and I reached the end of the novel so soon. In fact , I could not put the novel down once I started reading it, was up reading it until 3 AM (my usual time to bed is 10 PM otherwise) and got up with a bad headache :(.


Recommendation: Grab a copy and go for it gals, you will definitely love it.

My Favorite Quotes:
Not quoting anything from the book, as it will be a spoiler for the readers.
