Review: Find_love.com by Neeta Iyer

Humor and novels are not much associated with each other. Readers find it difficult to find laughable content in a book. Leave aside a laugh riot which is a distant dream. Author Neeta Iyer has come up with a solution. In her debut novel "Find_love.com" she has employed humor, wit and some desi tadka to ensure that readers are on the brink of their seats after the end of this book. Is she successful in making people laugh or it turns out to be a party spoiler? Let's check it out. 

A modern love story
Love Is A Funny Thing. When You Get Stuck On Someone, You Just Get Stuck. All Reasoning Fails.
Meet 29-year-old Swati Kannan who believes in bells chiming and violins playing when you meet your very own Prince Charming. But Cupid hasnt visited Swati. And then arrives news of the world coming to an end! Swati is determined to bring an end to her misery of being attractively single. So off she goes on a hunt an online groom-hunt leading to several rounds of coffee offline. While Rockstar Rohit sweeps her off her feet, Amusing Amit promises her laughter.Par Swati ki ghanti bajegi kya?
Youll just have to read Find_Love.com to find out, wont you?!  


The blurb looks good and the cover and the title of the book are unique. As it says on the cover page of the book it's a modern love story. It's a story of a girl who at 29 is struggling to find better half for herself. Society pressure, family pressure etc. leads her to groom hunting. What happens after that is a total laugh riot. 

This one stands out among the crowd and will give readers wrinkles in their stomach. The author has perfectly used a girl's plight to find a suitable groom to weave a story where at the end of every page you might even fall from your bed. It has desi tadka, some inspired real life scenarios of groom hunting, typical dialogues and lots of disaster coffee dates. The readers can afford to laugh till the end of novel. It ain't a dull prospect by any means. 

The characters in the story like single Swati Kanan, the concerned parents, ever helping friends give a reflection of our modern day society. There is laugh but also there are lots of problems and miscommunication and glimpses of pride of grooms & their families in the stories. Even the coffee dates in the whole book are a fun to read. The story holds together till the end to make it a wonderful proposition for the readers. 

There are no chinks in the armor and author Neeta Iyer has struck the right note with the readers. This is a novel for single and marriageable girls, for the people who enjoy reading humor as well as for readers who are looking something different in terms of content in a book. Once you pick it up there's no putting down this one. 

RATINGS:

5 OUT OF 5.
