WE WOMEN WONDER: Dreams, Desires, Struggles & Triumphs
by 
Inderpreet Uppal

BLURB

"When a woman becomes her own best friend, life is easier." 

– Diane Von Furstenberg.

Thoughts, quotes and determination can make a woman stronger, a survivor but she is a winner regardless. 

This book is the story of every woman, you might find your reflection too. 

A journey into what keeps us women ticking. 

What annoys the hell out of us? 

What are we women really about? 

How does the world see us? 

Is the world changing for us or are we just dreaming? 

What is our success and what it means to a woman? 

We Women Wonder, I often do, don’t you?

My Review:

First of all, We Women Wonder is not a collection of short stories. It is a collection of twenty-six blog posts written by the author during April A to Z challenge. So what is the book about?

It is about what We Women Wonder? About what's happening around us, to us, within us and by us?

Each chapter is the thoughts of the author put in words, about what she thinks or has experienced when she encounters a word or an emotion and when it is spoken with reference to women. It resonates with the voice of each of us and thus is easily relatable.

But the real gem of the book is a thought-provoking quote written by well-known people at the end of each chapter which relates to that chapter title and which Inderpreet has chosen wisely and aptly. That is a real sixer I must say.

While reading each chapter, which is easily relatable because it is what goes on in a woman's mind day in day out. Be it the way she is treated at home or at the office, by the spouse or a colleague, a friend or boss. The author has beautifully penned the thoughts, in some cases, I wondered if the author knew telepathy, as she has voiced some thoughts which are similar to what I felt when I had faced that situation.

Beautiful work by Inderpreet, lots and lots of applauds for penning down her rants, her thoughts, her opinion in such a unique and subtle manner.

We Women Wonder is definitely a must read and recommend to all irrespective of gender and age.

Book Review-Tanushree Ghosh's From An-Other Land

check out the schedule here

From An-Other Land
by 
Tanushree Ghosh

BLURB

Never has been the conversation on immigration more pertinent than now, post 2016 US elections. From cancellation of refugee protection and zero tolerance to undercurrent crackdown on H visas, the resurgence of nationalism is hitting the globalized population head-on. 

But what is immigration today? A question of life or death - fleeing of persecution? A compulsion? Or a mere pursuance of privilege? 

And what is the US today? A land of opportunities? Or a quagmire impossible to comprehend, inherently racist and selfish?

From An-Other Land dives deep into immigration today for the Indian diaspora and its many facets with characters who seek to define themselves in an intercultural setting that is less and less sure of itself. A reality check and a guide for anyone who wants to understand the modern-day US.

My Review:

First, when I picked up this book I just couldn't read beyond a few pages. Second time too same thing happened and I thought I won't be able to finish this book. Then I had to take a break from reading due to personal reasons. I have heard people say third time is lucky time. So with a clear mind and with no opinionated views in my mind, I started reading this book from start and I must say I absolutely loved it.

Though From An-Other Land is a hard read when compared to light-hearted romance or fast-paced thrillers, still I feel this book is definitely a must read.

Why? Well, for many reasons... The fluid language used to portray each and every protagonist life in the USA, their dreams, their struggles, their heartbreaks, their achievements and many more which actually touches you and makes an impact at right place and pace. The author has so wonderfully painted (written) struggles of NRI's who go to a foreign land with dreams in eyes, with those rose-tinted glasses and hopes of a better life than what they are leaving behind.

I appreciate Tanushree’s effort in writing such a wonderful book which gives all an insight into what NRI's go through in foreign land.

So if you want a light read please avoid this book. Only if you want to do some serious, thought-provoking read From An-Other Land is definitely a must read.

Book Review-P G Van's Dance With Me

check out the schedule here

Dance With Me 
by 
P.G Van

BLURB

When a video of Suhana dancing in her own home goes viral, the first thing she does is panic. Suhana got out of a loveless marriage and is trying to prove to her ex-husband that she can live her life without him or the money she got as part of the divorce. She had been a housewife all along, but now she is trying to rebuild her life. However, life throws her a wrench in the form of a viral video—a video that creates a sensation on the internet. 

Samyan is her elderly neighbor’s son who is staying at his mother’s place while she is away, and Suhana keeps bumping into him wherever she goes. His very looks instigate new thoughts and sensations within her that she tries to ignore because of the man she thinks he is. But, when he helps her in the direst of situations, she finds out more about him and starts to feel a connection to him. 

Dance with Me is a sweet, light-hearted and passionate love story with a happy ending. 

Note: This is a standalone romance with content recommended for mature readers.

My Review:

Author P G Van is well known for her hot romances. With her new book Dance With Me, the author has not only broken her image of hot romance writer but has created a different identity for herself, as Dance With Me is not only a romance with hot and steamy scenes but much more than that.

Suhana is a modern day woman with Indian upbringing but settled in the US. Her sole purpose in life is to give her son a better life. Even though she has been separated from her cheating husband she doesn’t want her son to be deprived of his father's love and attention. But is she right in doing so?

Having read the author’s previous works, which were hot romances, I was expecting something similar from this book too. But I was in a surprise as it has many topics, one of which highlights the plight of a housewife who with no proper qualification or job is at mercy of her husband’s taunts and jibes.

I loved reading this mature love story of Sam and Suhana. I loved reading this multi-genre book which has romance and suspense. Dance With Me is definitely a must read.

Book Review-Ruchira Khanna's The Doppelganger

Schedule for the bloggers 

Print Length: 34 pages

On Kindle Unlimited

Publication Date: December 26, 2018

Sold by: Amazon Digital Services LLC

Language: English

ASIN: B07M65B8D8

Sandra lost her husband, Sam, and was lonely in this not-so-alone world until she met Sam’s look-alike, Fran, from another world. Will Fran be able to provide all the happiness Sandra has been yearning since Sam’s physical body left?

The Doppelgänger is a metaphysical short story that will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions as the astral and physical bodies clash. 

My Review:

The Doppelganger is a short story with a unique combination of two genres: fantasy and paranormal. It is a little different genre but really worth a read.

Usually, life after losing a loved one is difficult especially, when the loved one leaves the world all of a sudden and at a very young age.

For Sandra, it was difficult to cope after losing her husband but when she, by chance meets Sam's doppelganger Fran everything changes.

I loved the unique theme of the story. It is a good, short read with a unique story plot which has never been explored before.

The Doppelganger is definitely a must read by everyone, if you wanna read something different yet interesting.

  

It would be great if you can add this book to your TBR

Review-Deep Downer's The Time is Now

The Time is Now 
by 
Deep Downer

BLURB

What possibly could an Ex-Major, an Ex-College Professor, a bookstore manager, and a college student have in common? Has fate brought them all together to rekindle some old flames or to start an entirely new one?

The Time Is Now is a short, sweet, unusual, un-cliched, and a mature love story. With just four main characters and one locale, the story is like a leisurely walk around the park on a pleasant summer evening that relaxes you and recharges you at the same time. It is sure to leave you with a mirthful feeling in the end and possibly moist eyes too.

My Review:

A short and mature love story in a unique writing style. As the author has mentioned beforehand that it is an experiment, I will say the experiment has been successful.

With just four characters, the author has successfully managed to weave such a touching romantic story, accolades for that.

Love the ending of the story. Nice book cover, clear and developed characters, simple yet full of suspense which is maintained till the climax of the story are some of the plus points of this book.

This is the first work of D R Downer which I read and I must say really loved reading it. The Time is Now is definitely a must read.
