Book Review #55 I Didn't Expect To be Expecting : Richa S Mukherjee

PC: Amazon





















Blurb:
Tara is living a blessed life in the maximum city with her husband Abhimanyu, the love of her life. At the pinnacle of her career, she is the apple of her parents' eyes and hasn't spotted a wrinkle yet - so far, the 30s are looking great! Nothing fazes Tara - not a foul-mouthed best friend or a food-burning arch-nemesis in the form of her maid - not even a landlady who chats with ghosts. And then, Tara discovers that she's pregnant, and suddenly, all that well-honed composure crumbles. It doesn't help that she's got an equally jittery (if supportive) husband by her side. Now, Tara must face her anxieties about parenthood as she navigates friendships, marriage and career, all the while dealing with the fact that her body and mind are steadily feeling like they belong to someone else. An irreverent, honest and funny journey down the road - potholes and all - to (accidental) parenthood!

My Take:

I had heard about this book for sometime now. But was not sure of what to expect so kept delaying the buy. On a whim some days back, I just brought this not expecting too much. But I was wrong. This book came like a breath of fresh air. A story of the phase most women got through; Motherhood. 

I liked the way the author presented the story. A roller coaster ride, once you start reading, you won't be able to put down. So many experiences while reading this came rushing back. Some nostalgia, magic moments. I loved Abhimanyu the most. Very nicely etched character and someone we all wish we had always around us. :) 

Go Grab a copy  from here and enjoy reading and being nostalgic. 

PS: I hope the author thinks of a sequel about Tara and Abhi's parenthood journey.
