I’ll say this for Ruchi Vasudeva. She really knows how to surprise a reader. I read part one of her Lucknow Sehgal sisters series, BOLLYWOOD FIANCE FOR A DAY and watched aghast as Saira snatched away her sister Vishakha’s fiancé. I really had no idea what Saira’s story could be like. What was left for her to do after marrying her sister’s former fiancé? But I had to think again. Life is strange with it’s twists and turns as every one of us sometimes learns, in fiction as in fact. The pampered younger daughter in the story, Saira has to learn to grow, change and mature.

The story of Saira’s
journey is no less fascinating than Vishakha’s.
Ruchi paints an uncannily accurate portrait of a marriage which destroys
the soul. This is a writer of insight. As in the case of the previous novel (never
mind the sensational title) this book is not just a work of quality romantic
fiction. It is, in my humble opinion, a
quality work of Indian fiction. Period.
I also enjoyed
Rihaan’s story of growing out of his heritage and claiming his self-forged
destiny..
For lovers of Indian
fiction and romance fiction. Don’t miss
out on this one.
