A cute easily read chick-lit novel. While not particularly funny, it is heartwarming and adorable. The book leaves you hoping for the best for Anju, a young 33 year old Indian woman raised in Bombay and living in New York City, as she searches for a husband with the pressure of her family and community mounting. The book not only provides a cute story, but an interesting look at Indian society. Although some terms are used which could be unfamiliar, they're not important to the story and add some flavor to the book. Overall, its cute and not too corny.
