Author: Kainaz Jussawalla
Publisher: Om Books International
I was provided a media copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
How many toads should a girl kiss before she finds her Prince Charming?
Kai Juicewalla. Foodie. Sucker for Shah Rukh Khan movies and everything about
him. A romantic feminist (no, that is not an oxymoron). Parsi by birth, so
crazy by right. Likes making rules but keeps forgetting them. Is unconventional
in the most conventional sense. Has ample curves but still rough around the
edges. And loves to exercise—her opinions only. Who Wants to Marry Kai
Juicewalla? is her racy, candid and juicy chronicle where she battles bullies,
bulges and badmash company in a classy, sassy and bad assy way. An unending
list of losers seems to be the bane of her life—a gold digger, a social
climber, an unrequited love interest, an Italian Adonis, an identity thief (in
the closet), a confused hot therapist, a raging narcissist. For this singleton,
the global hunt for the perfect man always seems to crash and burn. Her life
comes a full circle when she discovers the most important relationship of her
life—her relationship with herself. This no-holds-barred assault on your funny
bone upholds the universal truth that the journey is more important than the
destination.
I have always thought that memoirs are boring, and that reading about someone’s life would be quite uninteresting. Kainaz, on the other hand, makes this journey quite interesting. The book explores Kainaz’s journey of finding her significant other, and how that journey has shaped out to be, till now. The book is quite candid and I loved the way how she has framed it in various sections. The prologue gives the reader a good taste as to what to expect when you are looking at Kai’s life through her eyes. The language of the book is simple, easy to understand, and filled with so much of the vernacular that you are almost in conversation with her. The frankness in the book is evident, and keeps you wanting more of the story. From the romantic liaisons to the sweet moments with friends, the emotions are always running high in the book.
Another interesting aspect of the book is that she is not just talking
about her search for a groom, but also talks about body positivity, how she
deals with various hurdles in her life in her style. Friendship is an important
aspect in her life, and we see, first hand, how important it is to have good
friends. The book focuses on the many hats she wears-journalist, air hostess,
writer, friend, and how each chapter of her life taught her something
interesting. The humor and sarcasm in the book are par-excellence, and with
each instance, I almost fell off the bed laughing while reading.
Overall, this is a book that one should read, if you want to understand
the power of love, friendship, and what goes in the mind of Kai. And as we
pin our hopes that you get to meet your true love-SRK, here’s me recommending
this book to anyone who is looking for motivation. The book gets a 4.75/5 for
me.
