The Worst Daughter Ever

Hello BookLovers,

The Worst Daughter Ever

Aarti V Raman

Rupa Publications India

Blurb:

The Worst Daughter Ever is a story about family, failed expectations and self-perception. The book is told entirely from heroine LJ Raghavan's POV so incidents and characters are filtered through her prejudices, biases and information (some of which is only in her head!). Things really kick off when LJ's grandma dies and instructs the whole family to stay together for the two weeks of funeral rites. So, LJ has to go home and face her cousins and her mom and dad who are perpetually disappointed in her life choices. Then there is the family lawyer, Banjeet 'Ben' Dewar who LJ is very attracted to because, hello! good guy lawyer who looks hot.

How LJ navigates the two weeks and resolves all her internal and external conflicts, whether she and Ben get together form the plot of the book.

My Reviews:

1. Cover:

The First thought you get when you see the cover is how beautiful it is and simultaneously describes the title and the plot of the book whilst boldly showing the modern girl.

2. Title:

I think that the title really justifies the plot and it does a pretty decent job at that.

3. Recommended to:

I would personally recommend this to the budding youth as well as the people who value relationships. I would also like to recommend this to people who would like something new to read, other than the usual stuff.

4. About the Book:

The book is about a family dilemma, a girl with a life filled to the brim with problems, or so she thinks and a family that goes through a number of different adventures on a daily basis.

If you want something light, funny and exciting to read; this one is definitely for you.

5. Rating: 4 out of 5

A self love letter to you, from you, Sunshine :)

Hello Sunshine, How have you been doing these past few days? I know, this is a touché topic to talk about these days but I hope things will get better real soon and we’ll all be able to forget this new normal and will get back to being out older selves with a few changed and better habits that we learned throughout this pandemic. Sunshine, it is not always easy to be our best selves in all the situations but you’ve got to start from a certain point, right? I heard you’ve been thinking that you’re turning into an emotionless being? That you have no idea what you are feeling and why. Tell me something, didn’t you smile last night when your whole family was with you last night, enjoying dinner and watching TV while talking about your childhood memories they cherish till date? Didn’t you embrace the wind you felt on your face while riding your scooter? Didn’t it make you smile? Didn’t you cry when you thought about the fact that there might be a few years left for you to live wi...

Let's pour our heart out today!!

People often say, things never come easily to us. We need to work hard and really very hard to get the things in life that we really want to achieve. Often times I think about being a content writer, sometimes a data scientist or maybe a teacher or just staying a reader for life. People say that I've not been doing much in life professionally/ career related because they do not see me growing. I too think about all this many a times because who doesn't? I like to call these kind of days, " Reflection Days " when I sit down with a diary in hand (sometimes not even a diary) and think about everything I have done, achieved, experienced, regret not doing in this whole life or just the past year to be specific. The conclusion that I reach upon is considerably vague because I just cannot reach a proper conclusion to all these things, I guess no one can. Nonetheless, I reach upon the conclusion that I might have not done what my friends are doing or I might not have achieved...
