Book Review : My not so perfect life


This is my 3rd Sophie Kinsella book after  Confession of a Shopaholic and Remember me.
Remember me I remember was pretty good ;) (pun intented)

So My not so perfect life is a story of a 26 year old having a mind of 16 year old until she is fired!

Katie is obsessed with London and the obsession is unhealthy to an extent where she has to change her name to fit in, changes her accent and hides from people about her back ground all because of the fear of being judged! She tires to make cool (rich) friends and then when she goes out with those friends to expensive places she doesn’t even  have money to buy her own food. I mean what is the point of pretending so much where you get into a situation where people mistake you as a begger?

Instead of performing well in the office all she wants is to be cool and fit in so she withholds her opinions and then complains when she gets fired!

After being fired her life changes and she helps her parents build a business from scratch “A Holiday home”. This is when her boss “Demeter” who fired her comes for a vacation and Katie again tries to take revenge. But this time her boss becomes a bigger person and explains Katie everything that happened, How it happened and what mess she is in!

This is when Katie realizes that her boss is actually a good person and then she helps uncover the conspiracy going on against her behind her back!
And after that Katie's boss Demeter realises what a treasure of talent Katie is and she was not supposed to be fired.Now eventually at the end of the book every character is in the stage of realising something!

Okay one more dumb thing, this book was published in 2017 and in “2017” Demeter is bad with even the basics of internet.  Like who doesn’t know how to use an E-mail in 2017? And she is the HEAD of the whole Branding business! No doubt people were after her!

So after helping a boss and uncovering the conspiracy Katie realizes that her life need not be perfect! Finally girl you relaised it after going through hell and being fired? Way to go!

I really liked Sophie’s Remember Me I expected more from this book but still I would give a 3/5 stars.

Book Review : Funny Side Up By Ruskin Bond!

Image
This is my second book by Ruskin Bond. This book is basically a collection of stories from daily happenings of Ruskin Bond. A detailed description of when he wakes up, what he does after he wakes up, his afternoon routine, his evening walks, in short about his daily routine in general. He shares his experience by transitioning from the Dehra of his childhood versus Dehra now. He talks about what he loved while growing up. There are so many characters that made an impact on his life. His little experiences which he remembers precisely even after so many years are kind of funny to read. Ruskins story of his pet and his adventures rather misadventures with uncle ken are presented as short stories in the book and are light hearted to read. There is nothing much you can find in the book. No story or biography or anything just little life experiences. Its just nothing about nothing! 2.5 stars out of 5!
